The Catholic Church of St. Brixius in Malborn was built in 1806. Its west portal came from the St. Anna Chapel in Trier. The Marienkapelle in Malborn is a privately maintained chapel of devotion that remains accessible to visitors; its last major renovation took place in 2021.

The nearby Marienkirche in Thiergarten has 14 small, coloured windows connected to the rose window above the altar.
