Burgkirche, Gothic fortress church in Ober-Ingelheim, Germany.
The Burgkirche features a three-nave structure with a Romanesque tower from the 12th century and late Gothic battlements reaching eight meters in height.
The church site originated from a 7th-century Frankish chapel, which Charlemagne later granted to the Bad Hersfeld Monastery before its reconstruction in the 12th century.
Medieval stained glass windows in the choir display scenes of the Three Kings and Saint Mary's coronation, representing artistic achievements from around 1400.
The church building includes thick defensive walls of two meters, which provided protection for Ober-Ingelheim residents during potential enemy attacks in medieval times.
The ground floor of the church tower served as an archive for the Ingelheim High Court, combining religious and administrative functions in one structure.
