St. Martin Audigast
First mentioned in 1350 as a Romanesque choir tower church. The current hall church and the octagonal tower construction from around 1680/85 are particularly impressive due to the pulpit altar and the organ opposite it on the west gallery. On the sides of the altar are larger-than-life figures of Moses and John the Baptist. The carved baptismal font was created at the same time. A two-storey extension in half-timbered construction on the north side of the chancel. The Carl-Gottlob-Häcker organ from 1826 on the west gallery. I/11 After a thorough renovation of the church between 2010 and 2013, it is considered a special attraction in the region.
