Church Buchberg and Rüdlingen
Only since 1850 has the church of Rüdlingen and Buchberg stood in its selectly beautiful location between the two villages with a unique view of the Rhine and the Flaach valley.
As early as 1130, a little church was mentioned in Rüdlingen, the little church of St. Margarethen. In the course of the 13th century, it was presumably destroyed by a conflagration and not rebuilt afterwards. There is also documentary evidence of St. Jacob's Church above the rectory on today's cemetery grounds. It originally belonged to the parish of Lottstetten.
In the early years of the Reformation, Buchberg and Rüdlingen (at that time they were still a single parish) joined the Reformed denomination, as did the whole canton of Schaffhausen.
Despite several renovations in the 17th and 18th centuries, St. Jacob's Church became increasingly dilapidated. The two communities finally decided to demolish the old little church and rebuild it on its present site.
