(Cornelius;116) The nave, the choir and the three lowest floors of the tower still date from the 12th century. A fourth tower, which was built towards the end of the The church, which was built in the 12th century, collapsed in 1884 as a result of a fire in 1794. The tower roof structure of the surviving towers is now the oldest on the Middle Rhine.
