Behind the church, called St. Medard, is a very large cemetery.
Only one of the graves houses a Dove of peace.
The Dove of Peace is inlaid as stained glass on a black granite headstone.
----------
Something about the St. Medard church:
"Built in 1834. The substructure of the tower on the east side comes from Georg Judas (1723). High altar in rococo forms. Cemetery Cross from 1692.
In a historic village outskirts, oriented to the southeast cubic classicist hall building with façade flank tower, built by Trier architect Johann Baptist Bingler. Two floors of the tower of the previous building from 1723 were included. Inside are 17th-century figures, a high altar and a tabernacle altar decorated with putti from the end of the 18th century, a baptismal font from the construction period and decoration paintings by Maler Stolzenberg (1910)."
