St. Brictius

The stone walls of St. Brictius church feature late Gothic architectural elements, including a detailed choir section and medieval frescoes depicting Biblical narratives.

The original structure of St. Brictius was built between 785 and 792 using materials from a Saxon refuge, near a spring called 'die Welle'.

The church maintains a six-bell carillon system, with two bells from the early 16th century that ring during religious ceremonies and community gatherings.

Regular community events at St. Brictius include parent meetings, discussion evenings, repair cafés, and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.

The church interior contains a 15th-century baptismal font and underwent substantial changes in the 1960s following the Second Vatican Council.
