Reifferscheid: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The parish church of St. Michael in Reifferscheid was rebuilt between 1893 and 1895 according to plans by the architect Lambert von Fisenne; the lower part of the tower was retained. The church was consecrated in 1896. Reifferscheid is the destination for those searching for a holiday apartment to rent.

Culture

During renovations from 1971 to 1973, the supporting central columns were removed, leaving the original construction principle still discernible. The cross vaults created as a result appear to float above the central nave. The former choir, with its neo-Gothic altar, was preserved as a sacrament chapel.

St. Michael retains visible layers from three construction periods: a Gothic tower shaft, Fisenne’s neo-Gothic church, and later additions of side chapels. The restored original interior decoration is also still visible.

The surrounding area of Reifferscheid is home to the ruins of Neu Blankenheim, Hohe Warte, the ruins of Dollendorf, and Schöneberg.
