St. Theresa Parish Church Rhens
Mainzer Straße, 56321 Rhens
The parish church, dedicated to the Teresa of Ávila, is located below the old parish church of St. Dionysius, outside the Old Town in Mainzer Strasse. It was built in 1906-1908 because the old church was dilapidated and too small.

The Neo-Gothic hall church was built according to the plans of Ludwig Becker, the architect of the Mainz Cathedral. The clear shapes and well-elaborated details, such as the tracery windows, still give the church a pleasant appearance today. In 1912 Christian Gerhardt from Boppard built an organ with 25 registers. This was replaced in 1983 by a new organ from Hugo Meyer (Heusweiler). The Pfarrkirche St. Theresia is a protected cultural monument registered under the Monument Protection Act (DSchG) and in the monument list of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is located at the train station.
Since 2002, the parish church of St. Theresa is part of the Unesco World Heritage Center Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
