The Evangelical (Protestant) Church in Dierdorf
 |
 |
| The present Dierdorf Evangelical/Protestant church was built in 1903/04 out of stone from the Dierdorf fortress demolished in 1902. The old church, St. Jakobus, was erected in 1200. | It was under Count Johann IV of Wied that the congregation "reformed". |
 |
 |
| Although its appearance blends with the church, the bell tower is an older construction. It contains three bells: the Prayer Bell (1463), the Reconciliation Bell (1894), and the Awakening Bell (1960). | Several old tombstones are incorporated into the outside walls of the church. |
