history

The first mention of St. Aldegundis took place in 1170 as the dean of the Cologne Kunibert pin the monastery Dünnwald gave 20 acres of Rheindorfer Church for lease. The core of the three-storey Romanesque defense tower of St. Aldegundis dates from the 12th century. It was probably built on foundations from the Carolingian era . The brick upper floor was added in the 15th century. In 1281 the patronage of the church was given to Altenberg Abbey by the knight Manfred von Reindorf and his wife Christine . The current nave was built between 1774 and 1777, roofed with a flat barrel vault. The rococo-style interior is from the same period.

On January 1, 2012, the parish with the parishes Zum Heiligen Kreuz (Rheindorf) and St. Stephanus (Hitdorf) became the new parish “St. Aldegundis ”. The St. Aldegundis Church became the parish church of this parish.
