This church, surrounded by an old graveyard, belonged to a village named Weinfeld, that was abandoned in the 16th century. The church, once dedicated to St. Martin, is one of the oldest in the area. Parts of the foundation date back to Roman times. A parish is known here since 731. The tower is probably 14th century. Upto 1726 it served as a parish church for the neighbouring villages. It got renovated end of the 19th century and got consecrated again.
