St. Mariä Geburt, Baroque parish church in Monschau, Germany.
The church features a single-nave structure constructed from rough rubble stone, with a gable roof and a square bell tower at the northern entrance.
Built between 1649 and 1650 by Premonstratensians from Reichenstein Monastery, the church marked Monschau's establishment as an independent parish from neighboring Konzen.
The interior design reflects the economic success of Monschau's textile industry through valuable baroque furnishings and altarpieces acquired during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The church building accommodates 130 seated visitors and 100 standing spaces, with regular services scheduled according to the liturgical calendar.
The bell tower houses a historical clock from 1511 and contains two bells dating from 1864 and 1878, making it a testament to different periods.
