1. Johannes de Doperkerk / John the Baptist Church Marker
Deze kerk van mergel heeft zich waarschijnlijk ontwikkeld uit een 11e-eeuws zaalkerkje. Het middenschip stamt vermoedelijk ook uit deze tijd en is daarmee het oudste gedeelte van de kerk. De toren en noordbeuk zijn pas in de 16e eeuw toegevoegd. Binnen in de kerk bevindt zich een hoofdaltaar in rococostijl, ontworpendoor de Akense architect Johann Joseph Couven. Naast de kerk staat een, tevens monumentale, pastorie.
This marlstone church probably developed from an 11th century hall church. The central nave is thought to have originated from that time, making it the oldest part of the church. The tower and the north nave aisle were not added until the 16th century. The high altar within the church is in Rococo style, designed by architect Johann Joseph Couven from Aachen. Next to the church stands a rectory, which is also classified as a monument.
