In the 19th century, Strohn found itself under the lordship of the Count of Daun and thereby belonged to the County of Daun. A great fire struck the village in 1760, and it burnt down utterly. Only one house was left, the "Justenhaus" owned by the family Schmitz. Even the church's nave burnt down; only the tower remained standing. From inside, the old "Marien Glocke" (bell) still sounds. It bears the year 1483 and this inscription, in archaic German: "Maria heißen ich, alle Weder verdriffen ich Claus von Enen gos mich" ("Maria is my name, all weather I drive away, Claus von Enen poured me").
