church

A church has been recorded in Reinborn since 1576. The Gothic or Romanesque chapel to the east outside the town was destroyed during the Thirty Years War . In its place, a hall church was built between 1722 and 1724 in the simple rural late baroque style.

The church is right next to the linden tree. In front of the church is the war memorial that commemorates the victims of the world wars. The village cemetery is behind the church.

In 2001, a meditation circuit was laid out for Francis of Assisi's Canticle of the Sun.

Natural monuments

"1000 year old" linden tree

In the Middle Ages, the "1000-year-old" linden tree in front of the site probably had the function of a court linden tree and marked the place of the court of justice on the Ems . Today it is one of the most important living natural monuments in the Rhine-Taunus Nature Park and was placed under monument protection in 1928. The tree is deeply split. To save him, a central steel pillar was erected, which holds the fragments of the tree with a large number of steel cables. The trunk circumference was 14.29 m in 2015.
