St. Gertrud is a Roman Catholic parish church in the local community of Lünebach in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .

history

The oldest part of the church is the medieval west tower. The Dehio manual speaks of a Romanesque building, while the art historian Ernst Wackenroder classifies the tower as late Gothic. He calls the window openings in the otherwise undivided tower, which tapers towards the top, "double round arches with romanized columns". The tower hall in the basement is cross-vaulted and has late Gothic ribs on three-quarter columns.

A new, rib-vaulted hall building was added to the west tower in 1759, which was extended in 1875 by two axes and the choir to the east. The three western axes were laid down in 1965/66 and a kind of transept was built in their place to the east of the tower as an extension.
