The history of the late Gothic St Castor's Church dates back to the first quarter of the 14th century. The Romanesque church tower dates back to the end of the 12th century, making it the oldest building in Dausenau.
Today's Protestant St Castor's Church was originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary, St Mary Magdalene and St Castor. The main choir of the three-aisled staggered-porch church is characterised by wall paintings, which include a Passion frieze with figures of apostles alternating with scenes from the Passion of Jesus and dates from the first quarter of the 14th century and the two vestibules from the 15th century. The Romanesque church tower dates from the 12th century and already belonged to the predecessor church. In the 18th century at the latest, a sacristy located at the main choir from the time of construction was lost, the floor plan of which was archaeologically excavated in 2004 and visibly depicted in the pavement outside in 2005/06.
