Church building
A church in Biersdorf is mentioned for the first time in 1330. There are no more traces of this church today. Between 1907 and 1908, today's three-aisled, neo-Romanesque church with a semicircular apse , transepts and a bell tower in front was built elsewhere . The plans for this come from the Cologne architect Eduard Endler . In 1988 the interior of the church was restored.
