Nunkirche, Romanesque church in Sargenroth, Germany

The Nunkirche stands between Simmerbach Valley and Soonwald forest, featuring a nave from the Baroque period and a portico with Romanesque capitals.

The church was built around the first millennium by Archbishop Willigis of Mainz to establish Mainz claims in the Hunsrück region against Trier electors.

The church walls contain frescoes from the 13th and 14th centuries, with the earliest depicting an enthroned Christ figure.

The Nunkirche Market takes place annually during the first Tuesday and Wednesday of September on Rochusfeld field between the church and Bismarck Tower.

The bell tower contains three steel bells cast by Bochumer Verein in 1924, replacing the original bells that were melted for war purposes in 1917.
