St. Cäcilia

St. Cäcilia is a Catholic church in Beuel featuring a prominent quarry stone tower that rises four stories above the main structure. The building displays Romanesque architectural characteristics typical of medieval religious buildings.

The church first appeared in written records in 1144 when it was placed under the administration of Vilich monastery. This document indicates the building already existed as an established religious site by the High Middle Ages.

The church serves as a gathering place for the local community and marks important moments throughout the year with its bells. Its presence shapes how people in the neighborhood experience time and tradition.

The church is located on Kastellstraße and can be easily reached from the market area. Visitors should be aware that the building sits on elevated ground.

The windows were created in 1884 by artist Joseph Machhausen and display elaborate religious imagery. A recent cleaning has restored their original brightness and fine details.
