Basilika St. Margareta (Catholic church)

Already in the 9th century, a Frankish knight named Gerrich donated a monastery in the same place. Today's pillar basilica St. Margaret in the Rhine transitional style displays the whole range of Rhine late Romanesque shapes and colours inside. The “Gerresheimer Gnadenstuhl” in the vault centre, a representation of the Trinity, is considered the earliest in German monumental painting. The larger than life ottonic cross behind the altar still comes from the predecessor building.
