St. Martini, Gothic church in Hildesheim, Germany

The St. Martini church stands next to the cathedral walls and features characteristic Gothic architectural elements with high walls and stone vaults.

Originally constructed around 1240 as a Franciscan monastery church, St. Martini transformed into a Lutheran parish church in 1542 following the destruction of St. John's Church.

The building now forms part of the Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum, integrating religious heritage with contemporary cultural functions in Hildesheim's center.

The church structure maintains its original exterior walls and tower, allowing visitors to examine medieval German religious architecture from multiple angles.

The lower Portiuncula Chapel connects directly to the church structure, potentially serving as a historical mortuary during medieval times.
