St. Servatius, Parish church in Güls district, Koblenz, Germany.
St. Servatius is a Romanesque Revival hall church of rubble stone in Koblenz-Güls, built 1833–1840 to a design by Johann Claudius von Lassaulx. Its symmetrical tan-brick facade has two 65-metre towers with pointed spires, a rose window, and the inscription "CHRISTUS REX" above the portal. The tympanum shows the Virgin and Child, St. Servatius slaying a dragon, and two monks presenting a model of the church.
The current building was completed in 1840, replacing an earlier church that dated back to the 13th century. When it was constructed, builders reused stone from the demolished Löhrtor gate, a former entrance to Koblenz.
The parish holds four relics of Saint Servatius and keeps a silver sunburst monstrance and a silver reliquary cross, both from the 17th century. In the north tower a grace chapel displays a late-Gothic Pietà from the 16th century, moved here from the Großheiligenhäuschen, beside a modern Sacred Heart figure.
The church is situated near the Moselle River and can be reached on foot from nearby areas, though parking close to the building is limited. Visitors interested in viewing the interior should plan around service times, as entry may be restricted during certain hours.
