Building history

Inside, look to the choir

The plastered stone church was completed in 1785 and has a choir closed on three sides . The church interior is spanned by a cove ceiling. On the western side is the tower, which is crowned by a sloping pyramid helmet .

In the years 1966 to 1968 the church, which had become too small, was extended by two aisles and an organ gallery was installed. Since then the church has 400 seats and 100 standing places.

The church is not strictly oriented to the east.

Furnishing

Two richly carved choir stalls from the end of the 15th century come from the Steinfeld monastery .

The stained glass window "Cloak division of St. Martin" was created in 1922 in a Linnich glass painting.
