St. Michael's Catholic Church

The Catholic parish of St. Michael in Hillershausen looks back on a long history. The first church, dedicated to the Archangel Michael, was built as early as 1650. After an expansion in 1904, it served the parish until 1937, when it was replaced by the new St. Michael's Church, which stands today. The new church was built between 1935 and 1937 thanks to the great efforts of the village community and was solemnly consecrated on St. Michael's Day in 1937.

With the establishment of the parish vicariate in 1958, Hillershausen developed into an important religious center for the region. The church has been remodeled several times over the decades and underwent extensive renovations from 2001 to 2002. Today, the St. Michael parish belongs to the pastoral area.
