The listed parish church of St. Cosmas and Damian is freely accessible and always open. When the church was renovated in 1722, a mummified girl's hand, the "Black Hand", was found here. To this day, nothing has been found out about them, so there are numerous legends about them.

Here is the black hand. The Golddorf circuit starts from the parking lot in front of the church.
