The remnants of the castle can be seen in the "Glockenturm" watchtower. The former Sainte Barbe church dates from 1741. By the 1850s it was too small for the congregation, so plans were begun for a new church. The parish church of Saint Maximin was built between 1891 and 1893. The former Sainte Barbe church is now a school. Niedernai is characterised by traditional wood-framed houses.
