St. Michael's Church with the chapel to the north, the parallel nave added to the south and the tower attached to the south-west is a listed building.
The chapel has a ridge turret (the historic bell was melted down during the Second World War). Above the pointed arched door in the west gable is a coat of arms stone with an inscription: 1471 before Michaelmas. Above it is the coat of arms of the widely ramified and famous East Westphalian noble family Von dem Busche, then lords of Haus Kilver, which commemorates the foundation of the chapel.
The interior features a late Gothic wooden pulpit (ca. 1520, considered to be the oldest pulpit in Westphalia), a vestibule cross from around 1525, seven paintings from 1724 based on the Stations of the Cross and a baptismal font carved from lime wood (early 1950s).The three weeping ash trees on the southern side of the church are protected.
