The current church is one of the early stone churches that were built in the 11th century, during the Romanesque period. Large parts of the old outer walls consist of rubble stone, tuff and reused Roman building materials. Cast blocks from the Roman Eifel aqueduct were used to build the cemetery wall.
There are some very beautiful old stone crosses in the former cemetery.

The current church is one of the early stone churches that were built in the 11th century, in the Romanesque period. Large parts of the old outer walls consist of quarry stones, tuff and secondary Roman building materials. Cast blocks from the Roman Eifel water pipeline were used to build the cemetery wall.[1]

After the Dutch War, as well as 50 years later after the Hessian War, damage had to be repaired.
