A stately old church with a strikingly curved spire, surrounded by a mighty old churchyard wall - this is how the church in Niederwalgern looks to the outside; - an impressive picture, especially in the dark when the church is illuminated. It stands like a fortified castle on a hill in a gently sloping side valley of the Lahn.

At the end of the 13th century, a pastor is first mentioned in "Walgern", so that one can assume that the church dates from this century. With its retaining wall, it was obviously built as a fortification. Over the centuries, the church was structurally changed again and again, while the retaining wall was largely preserved.
