The Catholic Church of St. Nicholas was already mentioned at the end of the 13th century as a chapel. In 1437, the inhabitants of Buchhorn enlarged the chapel into a Gothic church and erected the tower which is still recognisable today. After the destruction of the monastery in Hofen during the Thirty Years' War, the citizens made St. Nicholas' Church their parish church. In 1689 it was extended and modified. According to the taste of the time, the Gothic vaults had to give way to a flat ceiling. In the 18th century, the church tower was given its present form.
