Evangelische Stadtkirche, Gothic church in Besigheim, Germany.

The Evangelical Town Church exhibits pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a stone vault ceiling decorated with historical paintings in the choir section.

The earliest documented mention of a church in Besigheim dates to 1279, with the current choir consecrated in 1383 and the nave completed in 1448.

The church contains one of the largest carved altars made from linden wood, installed between 1520 and 1529, displaying exceptional craftsmanship of that period.

The church houses an organ built in 1967 with 30 registers across three manuals and pedals, which underwent extensive renovation in 2004 and 2005.

The choir section features colorful Gothic frescoes from around 1380 depicting the life and passion of Jesus Christ with preserved original paint elements.
