Catholic Parish Church of St. Stephanus

The parish church St. Stephanus is first mentioned in a document on the 14th of January in 1340: The Trier Archbishop Balduin von Luxemburg confirms the incorporation of the parish Wintrich by the squires Philipp and Johann von Weiskirchen on the 9th of December in 1339 with the chartreuse in Trier.

From then on, the Prior of the Carthusian monastery was the actual pastor of Wintrich. He appointed a Vicarius perpetuus to represent him. This patronage right remained in effect until the French Revolution.
