Heilig Dreifaltigkeit

Heilig Dreifaltigkeit is a three-nave basilica with two prominent towers in central Bayreuth. The interior is organized by pointed arches that separate the main hall from the side aisles and create distinct spaces within the structure.

Fire destroyed the original building in 1605, prompting reconstruction that started in 1611. The church was consecrated in 1614 at the beginning of the Advent season, marking a new chapter for the community.

The name refers to the Holy Trinity and has shaped religious life in the city for centuries. Today the space hosts Protestant services and displays crafted decorative elements from different historical periods that visitors can observe.

Visitors should note that opening hours can vary depending on services and events happening at the church. It is worth checking ahead if you plan to explore specific areas like the towers or participate in any activities.

The church houses numerous tombstones and epitaphs from the 17th and 18th centuries that commemorate members of the margrave family and other notable residents. These monuments tell stories about social order and mourning customs of that era.
