Culture

St. Peter and Paul is a plastered hall church with Gothic features dating from the 14th century. The church was partially destroyed between 1632 and 1636 and rebuilt in the Baroque style from 1681 to 1699. Several historic gravestones in and around St. Peter and Paul are of particular historical interest. The lower tower, the sacristy, and the masonry of the nave date back to the 14th century. The interior contains a two-level gallery, a flat coffered ceiling, and the Magdeburg council pew with bull's-eye panes.

In nearby Ebendorf, the Georg-Schulze quarry is listed as a registered geotope; it documents geological history and the extraction of local building materials.
