A really great interior with wall paintings of the 12th-16th. Century, arches and glass windows as well as the Katharinenchor in the gallery. Very beautiful and special church, it's worth taking a look!
The Church is protected under the Hague Convention. The aim of the convention is to protect cultural property in times of war. In the past, all but one of the bells were melted down in various wars.

"... The parish priest Martin already points out that there must have been a church here in Franconian times. St. Martin was incorporated into the Gerresheim monastery near Düsseldorf, the monastery received income from the parish, but had to pay for construction and maintenance After the village and church had been devastated in 1198, construction of today's church began. The laying of the foundation stone in 1206 and consecration in 1214 are not entirely undisputed.

Three site managers seem to have replaced each other in the construction project. A first one should have started in 1206 with the west tower and the substructure of the nave. He planned a pillar basilica based on the model of the Andernach parish church with two towers at the east end of the nave. The central nave of the nave is slightly wider than the west tower. The first two bays are of the same length, the third lengthened by the addition of the unfinished choir-flank towers. Remains above the late Gothic star vault show that there was no Romanesque stone vault, the church was covered with a wooden barrel.

After the Gerresheim monastery ran out of money, it was only enough to complete an impressive choir in Linz in 1240, with five sides and two floors. Below quatrefoil window, above long lancet window. Slender underlaid ribs converge in a hanging keystone above the triple set of services. ... "

The parish church of St. Martin is a Catholic church in Linz am Rhein. It is a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention.

The largest parts of the west tower and the lower part of the central nave of the parish church of St. Martin were built between 1206 and 1214 in the Rhenish transitional style. The galleries with their sitting areas, the side aisles, the upper floor of the tower and the chancel were added after a change of plan around 1230/1240 in the early Gothic style.
