St. Martin’s Church Print E-mail
ImageThe outward appearance of St. Martins’s church is dominated by its defence tower. After the defeat if Oberwesel in the war against Archbishop Werner von Falkenstein in 1390/91, the tower of St. Martin’s was integrated into the town’s fortifications and was converted into a defence tower using the latest methods. Today it is one of the best examples of religious defence architecture in the Rhineland.
