At the top, on the edge of a hillside, the German parish church of St. Remigius impresses with its onion dome, atypical for the region. The dome dates from 1742, the lower part from 1550. Like the first church built around 1030, the present parish church served as the focal point for the villages of Leidingen, Heiningen, Sermlingen, Schrecklingen, and Wölfingen. Its nave is a simple hall with three window axes and a narrow, three-sided chancel. The older tower, added to the west side of the nave, gives the church an asymmetrical and interesting appearance.

Here, the border between France and Germany runs along, as a median strip, the "Neutral Street," known in France as "Rue de la Frontière" (Border Street), which runs through the town. Thus, on one side of the street, the houses are in Germany, on the other, in France.
