Tips

Sandsteinklippe

October 5, 2023

The mountain church of St. Nicholas towers majestically above the Rhine. It was built in 1578, although a Romanesque-early Gothic building from around 1126 collapsed beforehand. The three conches take up the floor plan of this first church. The church has been used as a simultaneous church since 1609. Since a renovation in 2006, the paintings from the 16th or 17th century can be seen again in the conches.
From the church hill you have a great view of the Rhine and the monastery island.
