Description

Parish Church of St. Martin

The parish church of Deuerling rises visibly far and wide on a cliff that steeply drops northwards to the Labertal, the so-called Baderfelsen, thereby prominently shaping the local image. The essentially Romanesque hall church was built in the late 13th century and was renewed multiple times in the 17th and early 18th centuries. The Gothic, recessed rectangular choir from the 14th century has been preserved; the square tower with an octagonal upper floor and onion dome stands on its front side.

The nave was extended westwards in the 18th century and reshaped in the Baroque style. The inside features a stuccoed ceiling with a cove and a west gallery, while the choir is spanned by a cross vault. The Baroque furnishings include high and side altars as well as the pulpit with representations of the four evangelists. A late Gothic baptismal font (dated 1499) made of red Adnet marble is among the oldest furnishings.

The dedication to St. Martin points to an early creation of the parish and suggests origins already in the Carolingian period.
