St. Lubentius, Dietkirchen, Romanesque parish church in Dietkirchen, Germany.

The stone church stands atop a rock outcrop on the western bank of the Lahn River, featuring a double tower and Romanesque basilica design.

Archaeological findings confirm the presence of a stone church structure on this site around 700, with the current nave construction dating from the 11th century.

The church maintains its religious significance through regular masses, liturgical celebrations, and community gatherings for the Catholic parish of Dietkirchen.

Five bells ring from the tower, including one consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1980 and the oldest dating back to 1753.

The church houses a wooden sculpture of Apostle James the Elder from the 15th century, wearing a red cloak with traditional pilgrim attributes.
