The St. Margareta Church is the Roman Catholic parish church of the Ormont parish in the Vulkaneifel district ( Rhineland-Palatinate ).

history

A chapel in Ormont was mentioned for the first time in 1570, but Ormont was a branch of the parish of Olzheim before 1500 . Nothing more is known about this chapel.

Ormont became Protestant around 1570. Since then Ormont is no longer a branch of the Olzheimer parish of St. Brictius. As early as 1593 the place became Catholic again. Ormont remained an independent parish until 1803 and until 1836 the place was a branch of the Hallschlager parish of St. Nikolaus. Ormont has been an independent parish again since 1836. Around 1775 a new church was built in the Baroque style. Since the building was already very desolate in the first half of the 19th century, a completely new church was considered. On June 8, 1850, the foundation stone for a new church was finally laid after the old one had been laid down. The construction time to complete completion was only five months. This church, which still exists today, was built in a very simple design as a single-nave four-bay hall church in the neo-Gothic style.
