A very little quaint church. If you weren't looking for it you would miss it. Very beautiful. When I went there wasnt alot of people there. So I would suggest going there to get away from the crowds. It was very peaceful inside. Very beautiful on the inside and out.

Heute, am 24.11.19, war ich wieder hier in meiner romanischen Lieblings-Kirche mit den herrlichen Fresken! Man sollte sie selbst gesehen haben, es lohnt sich! Meine Fotos sollen es zeigen. Die Haltestelle von Bus 133 (Schokoladen-Museum) ist direkt davor. Ich machte eine Skizze, die den gedrungenen Baukörper sichtbar macht. Herrliche Fresken schmücken das Innere der außen eher unscheinbaren kleinen romanischen Kirche aus dem 13. Jahrhundert, mit Hochwasser-Marken außen. Innen auf einem Fresko ein echter „kölscher Jesus“ – er steht in der „Bütt“. Auch eine antike Säule ist zu sehen. Diesmal sah ich die Kirche vom Rhein her – sie war Kirche der Schiffer & Fischer und liegt am Rhein-Ufer – sehr schön vom Schiff aus.

St. Mary in Lyskirchen is characterized by historical vault frescoes from the 13th century. The name Lyskirchen is probably derived from a Mr. Lisolvus or Lysolfus, who built the original building as a church of its own. The church as well as the attached sexton house and the sacristy are...
