Tips
In 721 Boniface came to Amöneburg and founded a monastery there, which was followed eleven years later by a church dedicated to St. Michael. Nothing is known about the history of this church. The monastery was probably dissolved after 1200, as the Archbishop of Mainz bequeathed the income from the former monastery to the Mainz church in 1217. Nevertheless, Amöneburg retained its supra-regional ecclesiastical importance.

The current Catholic church was built between 1965 and 1871. The church tower dates back to 1360. It is definitely worth taking a look at the church.
