Remigiuskirche

Here we find the Frankish origins of Büdingen.  An 8^th century wooden church was replaced  a stone hall-church with distinctive round window openings in the west wall. The patron saint is St. Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, who baptized King Chlodwig in 496. Originally the parish church of Büdingen, St. Remigius was superseded in 1495 by the “Marienkirche” (Church of Our Lady) and demoted to being the cemetery church.  Several interesting sandstones tombstones of clergymen, citizens and functionaries remain in their original position in the choir, while others have been removed to lean against the cemetery wall.
