St. Nazarius, Catholic parish church in Ober-Roden, Germany.

The neo-Gothic St. Nazarius church features a 52.7-meter tower, three naves, and sandstone pillars spanning 38 meters in length and 23 meters at the transept.

The church's foundation dates to 786 when documents first mentioned a Benedictine convent called Rotaha, with archaeological evidence of earlier wooden structures on site.

The church displays fourteen ceramic Stations of the Cross panels and stained glass windows created by artist Heinz Hindorf depicting biblical narratives from both testaments.

Four bells cast in Heilbronn ring from the tower, while a digital Allen organ replaced the original 1906 Körfer instrument due to maintenance considerations.

The high altar, transferred from St. Stephen in Mainz-Gonsenheim, presents Jesus crucified between statues of Saint Nazarius and Saint John Nepomuk.
