St. Martin’s Church

The church features late Romanesque architecture with a steep spire, gabled roofs above galleries, and monumental wall paintings in the nave from 1240.

Founded in 799, St. Martin's Church underwent construction from 1206 through several phases, replacing an earlier Franconian structure at the highest point of Linz.

The interior contains a 1463 Cologne panel painting known as the Altar of Mary, depicting the Annunciation and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The church welcomes visitors on Fridays and Sundays between 3 PM and 5 PM, with guided tours required outside these regular opening hours.

Roman artifacts remain preserved within the church structure, including ancient inscriptions and an original Roman kiln integrated into the building.
