The first mention of it as an urban settlement dates back to the 12th century. This is also the time when construction of the town's fortifications began, which were extended and secured until the early 18th century. Remains of this ring of walls and towers have been preserved to this day as architectural witnesses of past centuries.

In the middle of the town of Prüm you will find the St. Salvator Basilica, the landmark of Prüm. A visit to the baroque parish church is worthwhile.

The church was rebuilt in 1762 in Antweiler. Most recently it was completely renovated and restored in the early seventies for the 1000th anniversary in 1975.
