"The Catholic parish church of St. Mary's Assumption is a listed church building in Blankenheim (Ahr), a municipality in the district of Euskirchen (North Rhine-Westphalia).

The south-facing star-vaulted hall with a three-sided choir was built between 1495 and 1505 after a donation from Johann I, Count of Manderscheid-Blankenheim-Gerolstein, and his wife Margarete. Together with the 17th-century rectory and the towering Blankenheim Castle, the church forms an impressive architectural ensemble.
The tower was added in 1616 and a two-nave crypt was built under the north end of the hall. After the castle chapel was demolished in 1815, the burial place of the Counts of Manderscheid-Blankenheim was established there. The decorative late Gothic vault paintings were uncovered between 1954 and 1956 and supplemented according to findings. At the beginning of the 20th century, a fourth storey was added to the tower."
