HISTORY OF THE PILGRIMAGE CHURCH Around the year 1400, a knight named Johannes Brömser von Rüdesheim lived. He had inherited the Sterrenberg Castle above Bornhofen. By now he had built two churches: the parish church of Rüdesheim and the pilgrimage church “Noth Gottes” near Rüdesheim. Now he also began in Bornhofen, at the foot of his newly acquired castle, to build a church by extending the already existing church. He died in 1416. The construction of the church was continued after his death until its completion (1435). Thus the present-day pilgrimage church came into being.
