St. Martin

St. Martin is a Gothic church with a three-aisled hall structure and an octagonal spire tower piercing through the southern aisle at its midpoint. The interior displays a clear architectural arrangement typical of Gothic church design in this region.

The original church in the Romanesque style came from the 12th century but was destroyed in 1635 during the Thirty Years War. Reconstruction began after 1648 in new architectural styles.

The church contains religious artworks from different periods, showing how sacred art evolved over time. Visitors can see statues inside that come from various centuries, each telling its own story of faith and craftsmanship.

The location is in Oestrich-Winkel and functions as part of the St. Peter and Paul parish under the Diocese of Limburg today. Visitors should plan ahead since it serves as an active worship space with specific visiting hours.

An organ built by Förster & Nicolaus was installed in 1981, featuring 26 stops across two manuals and a pedalboard. This relatively recent addition shows how medieval buildings continue to be updated with modern instruments.
