The Church of Our Lady is a Catholic church in the center of the old town of Koblenz. Together with the other two Romanesque churches, the former collegiate churches of St. Kastor and St. Florin, it shapes the silhouette of the old town. The origins of the church, which is located at the highest point in the old town, date back to the 5th century. From the late Middle Ages to the French Revolution, it was the main parish church of Koblenz. It bears the patronage of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and is a masterpiece of medieval sacred architecture on the Middle Rhine. Since 2002, the Church of Our Lady has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley, and is also a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention.
