    The special feature of the Helfanter Dom are the two towers, which were specially financed by the Helfant population. For now, the church was the church without the two towers there. Because no money was to be expected from the bishop, the helpers donated independently and finally built the towers, which were finally inaugurated in 1912. The thirty-meter-high towers are imposing.

      A church probably already existed in 1037. The new building from 1848/49 was built according to the plans by architect Rüppel from Mainz using the old tower, which was replaced by a double-towered west facade in 1912.

        Dominant quarry stone building with slate roof. Proud double tower façade. A church probably existed as early as 1037. The new building in 1848/49 was built according to plans by the Mainz architect Rüppel, using the old tower, which was replaced in 1912 by a double tower façade in the west.
