Michaeliskirche, Lutheran church in Ohrdruf, Germany
The Michaeliskirche features a 15th-century tower that stands as the central architectural element of the religious building in Thuringia.
The church building experienced multiple fires in 1753 and 1808, with subsequent reconstructions maintaining its presence in the Ohrdruf community.
Johann Christoph Bach served as organist at Michaeliskirche from 1690 to 1721, where his younger brother Johann Sebastian Bach studied organ maintenance.
Visitors can explore a dedicated exhibition about the church history inside the reconstructed tower, which includes a small chapel for services.
The current tower structure received a concrete roof after 1945 damage until proper reconstruction efforts began between 1998 and 1999.
