Catholic Franciscan Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

Katholische Kirche Ansicht vom Alten Markt

Brief description

Historical church on the Old Market. The Baroque church was built in 1734 on the ruins of a Franciscan order church.

Detailed description

The baroque original furnishings of the church have been preserved: high altar, side altars, pulpit, confessionals, and organ front; it is among the most beautiful church furnishings of the Baroque in the Westerwald. It is likely that artists from Mainz or Hadamar were involved here.
The high altar - perhaps also the other furnishings - is a gift from Count Johann Moritz Gustav von Manderscheid-Blankenheim, a son of Count Salentin Ernst, who was Cardinal Archbishop of Prague since 1734.

Below the church is a monks' crypt with the monks who died and were interred here between 1754 and 1811 from the former monastery.
