Schlosskirche, Gothic church at Braunfels Castle, Germany
The Schlosskirche features three naves with a star vault in the central nave and cross-ribbed vaults in the side aisles, supported by round columns.
Count Otto II of Solms commissioned the construction of the late Gothic church between 1491 and 1501, replacing an earlier chapel dedicated to Saint Gallus.
The church contains historical terracotta tiles from the 16th century in its choir area and stained glass windows installed in 1902 depicting biblical scenes.
The church functions as both a Protestant and Catholic place of worship since 2005, offering services and ceremonies for both congregations throughout the year.
Until 1883, the Schlosskirche served as the burial site for the counts and princes of Solms-Braunfels, preserving their legacy within its walls.
