The branch church of St. Catherine in Müsch was built in 1787 and is a protected cultural monument. In 1972, the old chapel was expanded. The old chapel structure became the chancel, and an octagonal nave was added. The modern windows blend remarkably well with the historic part of the chapel. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Katharina_(M%C3%BCsch) Some of the furnishings come from the nearby former pilgrimage chapel of Müllenwirft. The churches in Wirft and Kirmutscheid also contain items from the pilgrimage church, which was abandoned around 1800. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallfahrtskapelle_M%C3%BCllenwirft
