Cycling

A church in Wiesenthau is mentioned in documents as early as 1410. This also served as the castle church, but even then it was outside the castle walls; the tower and the west wall of today's church are partly from this older church. The church was repeatedly rebuilt and expanded, the last major church renovation took place in the years 2011-14 and was completed with the consecration of the new people's altar in March 2014.

The Catholic sandstone church next to the castle is a very elaborately restored contemporary witness from days gone by.
