St. Gordianus and Epimachus

The Church of St. Gordianus and Epimachus is the Roman Catholic parish church of Prüm-Niederprüm in the Bitburg-Prüm district in Rhineland-Palatinate. The parish belongs to the parish community of Prüm in the deanery of St. Willibrord Westeifel in the Diocese of Trier.

When the Benedictine Abbey of Prüm established the Benedictine Convent of Niederprüm on its estate in 1190, the church built for this purpose was dedicated to the martyrs Gordianus and Epimachus. It also served as the parish church, as the nave was used by the community while the sisters and the abbess occupied the gallery. From 1668 to 1677/1679, the old church was replaced by a new building which still stands today. Since the old monastery buildings belonged to the Vincentians from 1920, they subsequently regularly provided the pastors.
