St. Michael, Gothic parish church in Jena, Germany.
St. Michael features a three-nave Gothic hall design with a 75-meter octagonal tower and a Renaissance-style spire reaching across the city skyline.
The construction of the current building commenced in 1380 on the site of two previous Romanesque structures, with completion achieved in 1557.
The church hosts regular religious services, musical performances, and community events while maintaining its position as the main preaching center in Jena.
Visitors can attend Sunday services at 10 AM and 6 PM, explore the historical interior, and view the late Romanesque wooden sculpture from 1240.
The underground crypt contains four sarcophagi belonging to the Saxon-Jena ruling family from the late 17th century beneath the altar area.
