This small stone chapel in Strauch was built by the villagers, but the exact dates of its construction are unclear. Originally, another building in Strauch served as a chapel from 1850 until it was expanded into a church (St. Matthias) in 1922 to serve the growing population.

The first church existed around 1700-1702; this became too small by 1900, and a new church was built between 1905 and 1907. In 1944, this church was blown up by German soldiers, and the current one was built in 1950. The sacristy was enlarged in 1963.

Cycling along the L246 between Schmidt and Strauch is great because there is a slight incline that invites you to coast downhill from Schmidt.
