St. Eligius Kirche

The St. Eligius Church features a rectangular tower on the western side and follows a Greek cross architectural plan with preserved northern sections.

The church construction began in the 12th century, with the oldest written record dating from 1339, and survived a devastating fire during the Thirty Years War.

The altar, crafted by Hans Wite in 1516, displays intricate woodwork and includes a Last Supper scene added in 1603, representing regional craftsmanship.

The church welcomes visitors for Sunday services and arranges private tours upon request, with the surrounding churchyard now including an area for urn burials.

The hexagonal baptismal font from the 16th century exhibits detailed carvings depicting the birth of Jesus alongside the elaborately designed altar.
