In the community of Beselich there are two Catholic parishes, St. Ägidius Obertiefenbach and St. Marien Niedertiefenbach, as well as two Evangelical ones in Schupbach and in Heckholzhausen.

The municipal election held on 26 March 2006 yielded the following results: On the Beselicher Kopf are found the restored ruins of the basilica of a former Premonstratensian monastery that was founded by Hillin of Falmagne, Archbishop of Trier in 1163 after Gottfried von Beselich had already built a little church together with a tithe-free estate there.

For roughly 400 years, the monastery was the surrounding communities’ cultural and religious midpoint, until it fell down in the early 17th century.

This chapel honouring the Fourteen Holy Helpers owes its origin to the Franciscan hermit, Friar Leonhard's initiative.

He was born in 1709 as Georg Niederstraßen, and after a life of extensive wanderings, he built a chapel and a hermitage here about 1760 on the former monastery's site with the local people's help.

In 2002, through donations and backing from the Bishopric of Limburg, the chapel had its interior refurbished and partly restored to its original condition.

From May to October, the Eucharist is celebrated every Friday evening at 18:00, and at 17:00 Sundays a Marian Prayer with a sermon and sacramental blessing is held.

In the heart of Obertiefenbach are found in places timber-frame houses up to 400 years old, which are mostly under monumental protection as witnesses to the old building method.

The sport hall standing right beside the primary school, whose ownership is shared by the community and the district of Limburg-Weilburg, came into service on 19 December 1990.

It is at the primary school's disposal weekday mornings, while afternoons, evenings and weekends, the community's resident clubs may use it.

In May 2000 on the floodplain in Obertiefenbach the Maria Hilf seniors’ centre, built by the community and run by the local Caritas chapter, officially came into service.

The steam mill is an early industrial building from the district's history of economic development, whose gable projection and fenestration show traditional ruling-class architecture, thus stating the manufacturer's claim to importance.

A stand-alone building in the middle of the community, the current mostly newer terrace wall still shows the old, raised churchyard.

There is a tall fortress tower from the 12th century with barrel vaults on both lower floors and small Classicist lanterns.

The synagogue was consecrated in 1877 after far-reaching new building work when the Jewish community, with its branches in nearby places, had roughly 180 members.

The side wings and building work about the entrance housed stairways, galleries and the ritual bath (mikveh).

The window openings were bricked up in the middle in order to make the front of the former synagogue appear as a common two-storey building.

Beselich is nowadays mainly a residential community whose citizens earn their livelihood in surrounding towns such as Limburg, Weilburg and Wetzlar as well as in the Frankfurt Rhein-Main Region.

By way of the A 3 (Cologne–Frankfurt, Limburg-Nord interchange) in connection with Bundesstraße 49, which runs right through Beselich, the community is well linked to the long-distance road network.

Also found nearby, 11 km away, is the Limburg-Süd railway station on the InterCityExpress’s Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed rail line.
