Annakirche, Aachen

Annakirche is a baroque hall church with a natural stone facade in central Aachen. The building impresses with its simple elegance and fits inconspicuously into the surrounding street architecture.

The building began as a Benedictine convent in the early 16th century and underwent major redesign in later years. Early 2010s renovation added modern heating and electrical systems while keeping its historical character intact.

The church serves as a musical hub in the old town, where regular concerts draw listeners from across the region. This role as a performance space has become central to how locals experience the building today.

The church is easiest to visit on foot, as it sits centrally and is easy to find. For concert times, arriving early helps secure a good seat.

The building shares its space with residential houses on a typical Aachen street, without standing out through monumental scale. This understated presence makes it something special among European church architecture.
