Alte St. Martinskirche

Description:

• The Romantic quarter of Muffendorf has one of the oldest and most interesting churches in the Rhineland standing among its picturesque half-timbered houses. Situated on a hill and surrounded by a small cemetery, the early Romantic church complex was first mentioned in documents around the year 913. The church has been extended throughout the years and thus many different styles can be seen on the inside of the church. When the church was renovated during this last century, an altar dedicated to the Goddess Diana was found, which means that a Roman temple must have once stood at this spot.
