The district of St. Dionys was first documented in 1333 and is a historic heathland village with 22 half-timbered houses thatched with reeds. According to local tradition, the chapel that preceded today’s St. Dionysius Church was founded by Charlemagne in 795. Today’s St. Dionysius Church was built in the Neo-Gothic style and consecrated in 1860. It is generally open to visitors daily from April to September.
