Saint Justinus' church, Carolingian church in Höchst, Germany
The stone church stands on eastern edge of Höchst old town, featuring a three-nave basilica structure with Gothic elements and Corinthian capitals overlooking Main River.
Archbishop Otgar of Mainz initiated construction around 830 AD after bringing Saint Justin's relics from Italy, making it the oldest remaining building in Frankfurt.
The church holds regular Catholic services, concerts, and ceremonies, maintaining its religious function for over 1150 years without interruption since its consecration.
The church opens from April to October as a summer church, offering guided tours and hosting weddings within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Limburg.
The medicinal herb garden adjacent to the church contains plants cultivated according to medieval traditions, bordered by preserved sections of Höchst city wall.
