St. Gereon, Roman Catholic church in Merheim, Germany
The stone church features a central nave with marble columns, a baroque high altar, and a tower topped with a pointed roof.
Archaeological findings, including Frankish gravestones from the 7th century, indicate religious activities at this location for over 1200 years.
The church houses a collection of apostle statues from 1846-1849, positioned along the columns of the central nave.
The church building underwent extensive renovations between 1996 and 1997, including the restoration of marble columns previously covered in the 1970s.
During World War II, the church tower required shortening due to its position in the flight path to Ostheim airfield.
