Church
The Evangelical Church of St. Laurentius & Katharina in Rinderbügen dates back to the 14th century. In 1523, the nave was renovated and the gabled roof was added along with the hexagonal turret. During the Mainz Abbey Feud in 1462, the chapel was severely damaged. In 1910-1911, the side isle was added.
The church building underwent major renovations in 2001.
The organ in the Rinderbügen church dates back to 1736 and the case design is attributed to Zinck. It was restored in 1965 by Bernhard Schmidt to include one manual with seven stops and one pedal.
