Apollinariskirche: A Historical Gem

Located on Apollinarisberg hill above Remagen, Apollinariskirche stands where a Roman temple once existed. With roots tracing back to a 5th-century chapel, this church has evolved significantly over the centuries.

Originally dedicated to Saint Martin, a Romanesque church replaced the chapel in the 9th century.

The current Neo-Gothic structure was constructed between 1837 and 1852, showcasing distinct architectural details.
