Beautiful church with an exceptional set of Romanesque paintings. It's great to visit it during some organ music performances.

This is a beautifully restored medieval church with unique architecture. It was built in the 12th century on a hill near the mouth of the Sieg. Designed as a representative castle and ruler's chapel as well as the tomb of its builder, the building, has detailed facade design and the elaborate wall and vault paintings. It's certainly worth a visit

A "double church" with two floors. Quite a way from the centre but on bus routes 640 u0026 550 meaning you have a bus every 15 minutes even on Sundays.

Very unique Romanesque church. It consists of an upper and lower church literally on top of each other. The upper church is only open for visits on weekends.

The Doppelkirche (Double Church) of St. Mary and St. Clement is a Romanesque church in Schwarzrheindorf, an eastern suburb of Bonn.
Church from the 12th century. It is a double church, two floors, the upper one dedicated to Mary (Madonna) and the lower one to Pope Clement.
Completed in 1151, the church has two levels and medieval wall paintings of saints and apocalyptic scenes.
The Double Church of Schwarzrheindorf has an attractive exterior plastered in white and decorated with pink and yellow paint. The paint job dates from a restoration of 1973 and provides a good sense of what many now-bare churches looked like in medieval times.
Inside, it has two levels: a lower church for the local community and an upper church for the lords of the castle and later the nuns. The two share the same plan: an apse with altar in the east end; small north and south transepts or apses; and a straight extension to the west for seating and entry. Over the transept crossing is a stout central tower topped with a spire.
The Doppelkirche's round, monumental design is inspired by Charlemagne's Palatine Chapel at Aachen Cathedral, since the Emperor was provided with a throne here as well. It was also based on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, as it was intended as the burial place for Archbishop von Weid.

Definitely worth visiting. Church from the 12th century. It is a double church, two floors, the upper one dedicated to Mary (Madonna) and the lower one to Pope Clement. Double churches are often related to different christian denominations using the same building (like Catholic/Lutheran double churches), but this seems not to be the case for this one. As I read, it is not yet clear how the two different floors were used.
