Saint George Church

Saint George Church features late Gothic architecture with a prominent tower and houses three baroque altars made from gray Wattenheim sandstone in the early 18th century.

The tower sections date from the 12th century, and in 1705 the church underwent division, with Catholics taking over the choir area and installing a partition wall in 1715.

The church serves both Protestant and Catholic congregations, representing a rare example of religious cooperation through shared sacred spaces in Rhineland-Palatinate.

The church opens regularly during the Herb Market in May, Heritage Day in September, and for the traditional concert of the support association during first Advent.

The interior displays medieval fresco fragments and ceiling paintings by local Wachenheim artists, combining different architectural styles and time periods into one structure.
