history
In the middle of the 14th century, a chapel was built in Prümzurlay in connection with the Prümerburg, which is now only in ruins , over which the Lords of Meisenbergh had the right of collation . A visitation protocol from 1570 also describes the building as libera capella , a free chapel .
Today's branch church St. Nikolaus was built as a late Gothic chapel at the beginning of the 16th century as a single-nave building with a three-sided closed choir with roof turret. The nave has two star vaults, the choir, which adjoins behind a pointed triumphal arch, has a rib vault. A sacristy was added to the south of the choir in the 19th century. A Gothic window opening has also been preserved.
The characteristic transverse oval entrance building in the west was only added in 1957.
