The Baroque jewel in the Rhineland was erected from 1734 till 1751 according to plans by Balthasar Neumann.

St. Paulin, a former collegiate church, has been a parish church since 1804. A single-aisled baroque-rococo church, begun in 1734 and built to plans by Johannes Seitz and Balthasar Neumann, it boasts of magnificent ceiling paintings done in 1743 with four scenes with cross motifs and two scenes from the life of Paulinus, the Trier bishop exiled in 353.

The canopied Marian (Immaculata) altar was sculpted by Ferdinand Tietz, and the ceiling paintings are by Christoph Thomas Scheffler. The restored organ is from 1756. The burial altar of Paulinus is visible in the crypt, as are other Roman bishops' graves.
