Stiftskirche Enger, Gothic church in Enger, Germany.

The Stiftskirche Enger features a freestanding tower, a carved altar from 1525, and a decorated pulpit from 1703 within its stone walls.

Archaeological excavations between 1970 and 1973 revealed four previous church structures on the site, with the oldest dating back to 800 CE.

The church contains a sarcophagus with a relief plate from the 12th century, considered one of Germany's earliest large-scale sculptural works.

The church welcomes visitors Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 16:00 and Sundays from 11:00 to 16:00, with guided tours available through the Widukind Museum.

Inside a wooden shrine at the tomb, researchers discovered bones previously attributed to Widukind actually belonged to a young woman.
