Located on top of a rock outcrop on the west bank of the river Lahn, it holds relics of St Lubentius, who according to the Gesta Treverorum worked in the area as a missionary in the fourth century.

The church is a Romanesque basilica, mostly built in the 11th and 12th centuries, with a double tower at the west end.

According to the Gesta Treverorum, the priest Lubentius founded the first church on the site during a missionary tour from Trier in the fourth century.

[1] Among the other buildings clustered in the plateau atop the rock outcrop is the free standing while Dreifaltigkeitskapelle (Trinity chapel) which is used for monthly services of the local Protestant parish.

The present organ was built in 1712 by Johann Jakob Dahm [de], who created an instrument with 13 stops on one manual.
