Dedenborn, perched high above the Rur Valley in the Eifel region, has become an increasingly popular destination for those seeking recreation between the Rursee lake and its tributary, the Rur River, over the past decade. Many hikers have been inspired to establish a second home in Dedenborn. This influx of visitors necessitated an expansion of the church, originally built in 1717 and located in the village centre. The village square borders the church grounds along the access road. The area on which the church and rectory stand has been leveled; this old, artificial plateau is enclosed by an old dry-stone wall, which separates it from the steep, precipitous slope below.
