    The church, which is surrounded by a cemetery, rises impressively above Mechernich. The white walls make it shine brightly and so this church is a striking waymark. You can enter an anteroom where there is a cross and an image of the Virgin Mary in front of which candles can be lit. A dividing grille prevents further access to the nave, but allows you to take a look.

      The Old Church of St. Johannes, Mechernich's landmark, lies high above the town and is visible from afar. The two-aisled, late Gothic hall made of quarry stone (1514) is linked to the Romanesque west tower (11th century) with a just closed choir from the 13th century. attached.

      It was only in 2004 that the interior of the church was redesigned as part of an extensive restoration, using old frescoes from different eras.
      Romanesque frescoes, which were removed as part of a restoration more than twenty years ago, have now been re-hung in the church.

        A great view of the town and a good starting point for beautiful hikes.
        Or trips by train, which can be reached in 5 minutes on foot.
