"The parish church, which has been documented since the 13th century, was replaced in 1701-1703 by a single-nave quarry stone building with a three-sided choir and a ridge turret in the west. The clay-vaulted interior with baroque furnishings from the early 18th century was restored in the 20th century." https://www.rhein-voreifel-touristik.de/poi/kath-pfarrkirche-st-martin

"The Roman Eifel aqueduct ran right through the town center of Rheinbach. The pipeline turned into the town area coming from Palmersheim / Flamersheim. Even today, Münstereifeler Straße, Kriegerstraße and the "Römerkanal" street show roughly the former course of the route..." https://www.roemerkanal.de/bauwerk
