Places and monuments

Church Lutheran of 1883.

The church dedicated to Martin saint, passed to the Reform in 1545. The building is composed of several parts of different times: old the turn-porch Western, whose base is perhaps medieval, was transformed at the 17th century (the date 1687, given by J. Mr. Bopp appears on the western door, currently incomplete); the first two levels can go back to this time. The tower was raised in 1893 (last level and arrow). The nave comprises three spans dating from the 18th century (in the west), with a side door; in the east it was increased in 1873-74 (inscription engraved on a stone, with the names of Arbogast, mayor and Roth, Pasteur), taking the place of the old chorus. The building was restored in 1957, then again of 1974 to 1992.

The church, located on an elevated quay level is surrounded of the old cemetery, the current cemetery being in the south of the village; the building is in masonry, without chains of angle (except in the east in the part of the 19th century). In the west, old a turn-porch has thick walls of 1 m to 1,30 m, bored Western side of a door in semicircular arch (undoubtedly an old window), with the date 168-. In the wall is inside, visible traces of a gothic arch, walled. The nave is bored windows in semicircular arch and of a side door in semicircular arch, with the carved casing of tables profiled on bases at a peak diamond (carries similar to the entry of the cemetery). The Eastern wall-pinion is bored principal main door, in semicircular arch, whose tympanum carries a biblical inscription. Inside, the pastoral pulpit occupies the center of the western wall; one reaches it by a staircase out of wooden located at the ground floor of the tower, the wall of the latter having been bored.
