Basilica of St. Castor, Romanesque parish church at Deutsches Eck, Koblenz, Germany.
The Basilica of St. Castor stands near the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers, featuring two five-story towers and a three-story rounded apse.
Construction of the original church occurred between 817 and 836 under Archbishop Hetto of Trier, with support from Emperor Louis the Pious.
The monastery at St. Castor hosted negotiations among Frankish rulers in 842, leading to the Treaty of Verdun that divided the empire.
The basilica opens daily to visitors who can explore its Romanesque architecture, medieval vaulting, and 1962 transept organ.
A fountain outside displays inscriptions from both French and Russian commanders during the Napoleonic Wars, documenting historical military presence.
