St Maria and Clemens Church, Romanesque double church in Schwarzrheindorf, Germany

The church consists of two levels connected by an octagonal opening, with the lower church dedicated to Saint Clemens and the upper church to Mary.

Archbishop Arnold von Wied commissioned the construction of this church in 1151, which later transformed into a Benedictine convent under his sister Hadwig's guidance.

The lower church contains original 12th-century frescoes depicting the Prophet Ezekiel's vision, representing medieval religious art in the Rhineland.

The church contains seven bells in its crossing tower, with regular religious services held in both the upper and lower sections.

French revolutionary troops removed the oldest bell from 1636 to Mirecourt, France, but it returned to Schwarzrheindorf in 1964.
