Obere Pfarre, Gothic parish church in Bamberg, Germany
The Church of Our Lady stands on Kaulberg hill with an 81-meter tower overlooking the medieval streets of Bamberg's old district.
Construction of the church started in 1338, and Bishop Lamprecht von Brunn consecrated the structure in 1387, with the tower reaching completion in 1535.
The interior displays the Maria Immaculata Altarpiece created by Veit Stoss in 1520, depicting the Virgin Mary with angels and saints.
The church opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering free entry to visitors except during religious services.
The wedding portal, constructed between 1380 and 1390, presents stone carvings of wise and foolish virgins alongside Mary's coronation in the tympanum.
