church
St. Salvator was built between 1978 and 1981 and was consecrated on May 24, 1981. The rectangular floor plan has a size of 32.20 m × 17.20 m. The construction plans come from the architect Karl Heinz Rommé.
The Antwerp carved altar was transferred together with the miraculous image in 1804, during the period of secularization , from the Mariawald monastery to the church in Heimbach. Today the huge winged altar, which is over 500 years old, is the eye-catcher in the modern pilgrimage church . It is probably the most important work of art of its time in the whole of the northern Eifel .
Georg Meistermann designed the large church windows .
