The Baroque building from 1725 was built on the site of a smaller Gothic church. The mighty western tower was built in its current form several years later. Up to the first arched window, the tower could have existed since Roman times. The interior features stucco work, a marble pulpit, and wall frescoes. The main altarpiece in the lower right corner shows a view of Unterretzbach in the 18th century. In front of the folk altar is a crypt with a Romanesque vault. The church park served as a cemetery until 1900. The foundations of an ossuary were discovered in the arch of a wall similar to a defensive wall.
