    Tips

    Hiking

    Oberwesel was under the rule of the Archbishop of Trier for half a millennium and remained almost entirely Catholic. Thus, it has two beautiful Catholic churches, a handful of chapels, a Stations of the Cross, and the unspeakable anti-Semitic chapel for the false Saint Werner.

    The Protestant church only emerged around 1900 and outside the city walls. Not a beauty, but a sign of life for the second denomination. The neighboring Bacharach benefited from becoming Protestant under the Counts Palatine. Thus, it could more easily free itself from the gruesome Werner cult.

    @ Oli: In your photo, the tower with the lamp looks totally like a cross. Brilliant!
