St. Margaret's Church is the Roman Catholic parish church of the municipality of Ormont in the Vulkaneifel district (Rhineland-Palatinate).

A chapel in Ormont was first documented in 1570, but even before 1500, Ormont was a branch of the Olzheim parish. Nothing further is known about this chapel.

Around 1570, Ormont became Protestant. Since then, Ormont has no longer been a branch of the Olzheim parish of St. Brictius. As early as 1593, the village became Catholic again. Until 1803, Ormont remained an independent parish, and until 1836, it was a branch of the Hallschlag parish of St. Nicholas. Since 1836, Ormont has been an independent parish again. A new church in the Baroque style was built around 1775. However, since the building's structure was already in a very dilapidated state by the first half of the 19th century, a completely new church was considered. On June 8, 1850, the foundation stone for a new church was finally laid after the old one had been demolished. Construction took only five months to complete. This church, which still stands today, was built in a very simple design as a single-nave, four-bay hall church in the Gothic Revival style.

The interior of the church features a Gothic Revival high altar with two accompanying side altars from the time the church was built, a people's altar from 1995, two figures each from the 1920s and 1990s, and a Gothic Revival baptismal font from 1885. Furthermore, a Stations of the Cross are painted on the side walls using the so-called fresco technique. (Source: Wikipedia)

On the Way of St. James from Cologne to Trier, pilgrims or hikers reach this church in Ormont, already located in Rhineland-Palatinate. The church is dedicated to Saint Margaret (also: Margaretha). The vestibule is freely accessible and contains a pilgrim's stamp. A glass door provides a view into the nave.
