(Jan) 4. Dedication of Our Lady of Treves, in Germany, A.D. 746, by Hydolph, Archbishop of Treves. The Princess Genevieve, wife of Syfred,
palatine of Treves, and daughter of the Duke of Brabant, had this church built in a wood on the very spot where Our Lady appeared to her, and assured her that her innocence should be recognized. (Ad ditiones ad Molanum de Sanctis Belgicis.)

of the Liebfrauenkirche (German for Church of Our Lady) in Treves [Trier], Germany - which was built in the 1200's.
From
our reseach, the ancient 8th c., Church dedicated to the Apparition of Our Lady of Treves, by Archbishop Hydolph, is no longer extant. Note: Treves is also home to one of the most famous Cathedrals in Church History, The High Cathedral of Saint Peter,
which houses some of the most important sacred relics in existence today.
