Built at the very beginning of the 13th century, this is not only one of the oldest churches in the area, it is also very well-preserved. The original contemporary frescoes were hidden under layers of paint for centuries and were rediscovered in 1936.

Wormbach has been a place of worship since long before Christianity replaced pagan beliefs. Later, became an important center for early Christianisation. The romanesque church from the mid-13th century also has re-discovered frescoes, including a mysterious set of zodiac signs that's still puzzling historians. The much younger altarpiece and other baroque style parts of the interior give the place a very different feel from the more plain appearance of the neighbouring Berghausen.
