In the 1950s, lime was burned in this tower-like kiln, built of bricks and rounded to a height of approximately 10 meters. Most of the surrounding quarries are now overgrown. Due to its technical and historical significance, it is a cultural monument worthy of protection.

The interior is particularly characterized by the three eleven-meter-high choir windows, whose color scheme creates a brilliant light in the nave. The people of Heiligenstadt became aware of the artist Graham Jones through his designs for the Cochem church windows. His use of figurative forms and vibrant colors was very well received. Since 2011, the windows, depicting the Annunciation, Pentecost - the Mission of the Holy Spirit, and the Assumption, have adorned the Provost's Church.
