Already in Carolingian times, there was a house of worship here. Of an eastward-facing predecessor building from the 14th century, only the Romanesque tower, which was moved to its current position, has been well preserved. Originally accessible only by ladders from about halfway up, it served in its strikingly sturdy architecture as a combined tower for escape, watch, and bells. The modern baroque house of worship was once one of the largest in the lower Selztal, equipped with colorful stained glass windows, one of the last original Kohlhaas organs, and two altars. The large main altar originates from a lost church in Stadeck.
Decorative grave slabs in the interior and exterior show, comparable to the conditions in Ober-Ingelheim, the privilege of the nobility to have a burial place under direct sacred protection. The patronage was early in the hands of the Trier monastery of St. Maximin, which also included the provostry of Pfaffenhofen near Schwabenheim.
The oldest inventory is likely to be a massive monolithic offertory box, which was probably made in the 15th century from a pillar fragment from the Nieder-Ingelheim imperial palace.
