Ägidienkirche, Gothic church at Krämerbrücke, Erfurt, Germany
The red-towered Ägidienkirche stands at the eastern end of Krämerbrücke bridge, featuring a 33-meter high campanile with Gothic architectural elements.
First documented in 1110 as a chapel, the church underwent reconstruction in stone by 1325 following a destructive city fire in 1293.
The building represents a transformation from religious structure to commercial space and back to religious use, now serving the Methodist community.
Visitors can climb the Red Tower daily for views over Erfurt, while the interior displays a Gothic pulpit and archaeological findings from recent renovations.
This structure holds the distinction of being the oldest Methodist church still in active use worldwide, maintained by the Methodist Church in Eastern Germany.
