The Catholic parish church of St. Cyriakus is one of the most special religious buildings in the Eifel region. At the end of the 15th century, Weyer was allowed to modernize the old pillar basilica from the 12th century and to refurbish it in Gothic forms. The current three-aisled hall church with a three-sided choir has stood here since around 1500. The strong west tower was not changed when the church was renovated; The tower was only renewed much later, in 1758. The equipment seen today was created after secularization in the 19th century; After 1830, three simple tabernacle altars and a high altar were created, further side altars were built in 1854, and around 1900 the other furnishings were restored.
