[DE] Pfarrkirche St. Nikolaus
Die katholische Kirche St. Nikolaus wurde im 14. Jahrhundert erbaut. Sie stand bis ins 17. Jahrhundert im Verbund mit der Mutterkirche St. Kastor in Ober-Lehmen. 1375 wurde der Oberfeller Kirche durch den Trierer Erzbischof Kuno von Falkenstein das Taufrecht verliehen.
Der romanische Eingangsturm aus der Bauzeit ist eher schlicht. Die vollständig erhaltene Einrichtung und Bemalung der neugotischen Stufenhalle (1910) stammt ebenfalls aus dem 14. Jahrhundert.

Innenraum der Pfarrkirche

Sehenswert im Innern des Gotteshauses sind der Altaraufsatz des rechten Seitenaltars mit den Heiligenfiguren von St. Nikolaus, Petrus und Paulus, die Kanzel und Teile des Chorgestühls aus der Zeit um 1700. Beachtenswert sind auch die Holzbildwerke mit der Darstellung der Apostel Petrus und Paulus in der Turmhalle aus der zweiten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts.
