Market Church of Our Dear Ladies, Gothic church in Halle, Germany
The Marktkirche Unser Lieben Frauen features four distinct towers, with two western Gothic towers and two eastern Romanesque towers forming a symmetrical design.
Construction of the church began in 1529 and completed in 1554, incorporating towers from two previous religious buildings that stood in the market area.
George Frideric Handel received his first organ lessons in this church, which houses two historic organs including the Reichel-Orgel from 1664.
The church maintains regular worship services and hosts musical performances throughout the year in its 88-meter-long nave with triple-nave layout.
The eastern watchtowers are connected by a 40-meter-high bridge that served as a guard post and now functions as a location for trumpet concerts.
