St. Martin Roman Catholic ChurchThe ancient and romantic town of Cochem is situated in the most beautiful part of the Moselle Valley. While strolling through the town, prior to heading up to Reichsburg Castle, we noticed St. Martin Church in the heart of the market area. From the exterior, one could tell that there were some amazing stained glass windows decorating the church.
While I returned to the ship, my husband walked back to the church and captured some images of the interior. We hope that you enjoy these images. We'd highly recommend including the interior of the church to your visit of Cochem.

The church is situated by the market. The church has a turbulent history. The current old choir stand was first mentioned in 1593. Between 1932-1933 a new nave was built, but it was destroyed by bombing in 1945. In 1950/1951 the nave was rebuilt again.
The interior of the church is quite plain, with the exception of these magnificent statues and stained glass windows.
Our visit to Cochem was on day eight of our 13-day river cruise on Avalon Artistry II. If you are just joining us, be sure to review our previous posts.
