St. Valentin

Sankt Valentinus is a Gothic church in Kiedrich featuring a completely preserved medieval interior. The building contains carved wooden pews from 1510, multiple altars from medieval times, and an organ with components dating back centuries.

Construction of the church began in 1380 on foundations of an earlier structure and expanded throughout the 15th century as new sections were added. The Michaelskapelle was built during this expansion period.

The Kiedricher Chorbuben perform Latin liturgical choral singing during services, a practice rooted in medieval traditions of the community. Their voices fill the church space during regular worship celebrations.

Plan your visit during regular opening times, which vary by season and may be affected by services or events. Check ahead to find out when the church is accessible to visitors.

The organ here is one of the oldest functioning instruments of its kind in the world, with parts that remain playable from the 1380s. This has made it a remarkable survivor of medieval craftsmanship and musical tradition.
