"The consecrated John the Baptist church was erected probably in the 10th century. 1224 gave Gerhard von Are on the Nürburg his own Church of St. John Coming in Adenau. In the 12th century two aisles and in the 13th century a new choir were added, which was exclusively used by the Hospitallers. Probably the late 15th century, the nave was vaulted. 1908/09 the old choir and sacristy was demolished and a new building.
