church ruin "Husenkirche"

The "Husenkirche" is the oldest church building in the Werratal. Originally it was a wooden church from the 8th century; in the course of the centuries it was changed several times. The preserved walls date from 1161. Shortly before the end of the 2nd World War the Husenkirche was severely damaged.

Hans and Margarethe Luther, Martin Luther's parents, married in the Husenkirche.

During excavations in the nave, remains of a Bronze Age settlement were found under the foundation.
