St. Castor, Romanesque parish church in Treis-Karden, Germany.

The church features thick stone walls, rounded arches, and two white towers that stand prominently along the Moselle River landscape.

Construction of St. Castor began in 1183 to house sacred relics, establishing it as a central religious site between Koblenz and Trier.

The Late Gothic altar shrine within the church displays the Three Kings scene, representing medieval craftsmanship and religious devotion.

The church foundation operates a museum at St. Castor-Strasse 87, exhibiting artifacts spanning 2,000 years from Celtic, Roman, and Franconian periods.

The church earned the name 'Mosel Cathedral' due to its architectural grandeur and status as the primary religious structure in the Moselle region.
