Pope Lucius III
The Catholic parish church in Gabsheim is among Rhenish Hesse’s oldest and biggest churches and given its commanding location above the village it is a prominent landmark for the whole area. The early mediaeval church was acknowledged in 1164 by Pope Lucius III as a holding of St. Alban's Abbey, Mainz. Even today, the church is still consecrated to Saint Alban of Mainz.
