History
The church's origins date back to the 10th century. In 989, Cologne's Bishop Everger transferred the church at Flittard — then known as "Fliterthe" — from the collegiate church of St. Kunibert to the monastery of St. Martin. The Romanesque tower, which survives to this day, dates from the 12th century.
Architecture
The older Romanesque nave was replaced in 1897 by a neo-Romanesque structure designed by architect Theodor Kremer. He conceived it as a three-aisled stepped hall in tufa stone, with five bays and a semicircular apse; the northern side aisle also features a small apse. The three-storey tower rises on a square footprint, is likewise built in tufa, and is articulated by pilaster strips and round arches.
