It is an example of the fortified church type of construction, and is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.

The third church, a Romanesque building, had a round apse, a rectangular choir and a bell tower on the north side which were probably grafted on the earlier nave.

In 1420 Hans Thüring Münch-Eptingen became the owner of the village and had a new, larger bell tower built.

[4] Under Hans Thüring Münch-Eptingen the church was fortified with a seven-metre-tall (23 ft) rampart around 1435.

The Münch family had to sell the right to appoint priests and collect money for the church to Peter zum Luft in the late 15th century.

Under Arnold, the nave was raised the final 1.5 m (4.9 ft) to its current height and in 1504 given a richly painted wooden ceiling by Ulrich Bruder.

[5] The town decided to demolish the walls and gatehouses around the church in 1853, but Zurich historian Johann Rudolf Rahn convinced the council in Basel to preserve them instead.

Today's congregation forms part of the Evangelical Reformed Church of the Canton Basel-Landschaft.

In the first King Dagobert brings his son Siegbert, killed in the hunt, to Bishop of Strassburg, Arbogast, and asks for help.

Another fresco from 1450 shows Saint Nicholas giving three gold purses to the daughters of a poor man.

[3] The exterior of the charnal house has a fresco of Saint Christopher on the left side and protective mantel on the right.

Inside the charnal house is a fresco of the Last Judgement from 1513 and an example of the Legend of the grateful dead from the same year.
