Jahrhundert schon eine kleinere Kirche. 1226 wurde das Gotteshaus spätgotisch umgebaut. Das Langhaus stammt aus dem 15. Jahrhundert, die nachgotischen Seitenschiffe Anfang 17. Jahrhunderts.

The edifice was completed in 1906 in art nouveau stile by the mason Jean Gemünden. It’s composed from an engine hall and a westward added living quarter for the keeper (machinist). The facade is structured by high windows with sprout frames. The living quarter is in „Landhaus“–style with framework and an elegant helmeted roof. This old power plant is a proof of the economical prosperity of Ober-Ingelheim in the early 20th century. Until 1945 two Diesel engines with a total of 100 HP (horsepower) powered the DC…
The tower built around the year 1000 and the old mute organ from 1784, together with the beautiful window painting and a winged altar, offer a successful cross-section through various eras.

In 1706 it was awarded to the Protestants, which they renewed in 1725 with a flat ceiling. Even after several renovations, the entire complex of today's…
