Church of St. Hemma and Dorothea

Today’s Subsidiary and Pilgrimage Church on the Hemmaberg Mountain was built round 1500 and extended in 17th century. The threshold of the late Gothic western portal is a fragment of a Roman cornice.

The inner room contains a group of carved baroque crucifixions and wall paintings from 1619, i.e. paintings with motifs of St. Hemma legend, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the martyrdom of St. Sebastian and the Last Judgement.

The high altar from the first half of the 17th century was restored in 1993 and contains a baroque oil painting depicting the St. Hemma and Dorothea.
