There is a fortified church of architectural and historical interest. It has an organ built by Gottfried Richter (1643–1717)[1] The church is also of interest to music historians for its association with J.S. Bach whose cantata Ich lasse dich nicht, du segnest mich denn, BWV 157 was performed in the church in 1727.[2]
