Evangelische Stadtkirche, Schlitz, Vogelsbergkreis
Evangelische Stadtkirche, Schlitz, Vogelsbergkreis, Romanesque church building in Schlitz, Germany
The Evangelische Stadtkirche features semi-circular arches, three naves, and stone columns that form a robust basilica structure at the highest point of the mountain.
Archbishop Richolf consecrated this church on September 20, 812, making it one of the earliest stone religious buildings constructed outside the immediate Fulda monastery district.
The church contains multiple epitaphs, including one created by sculptor Philipp Soldan for Agnes von Görtz in 1560, and a baptismal font from 1467.
Located at An der Kirche 1, the church hosts community events, including an annual Advent concert featuring modern interpretations of traditional holiday music.
The south hall, known locally as 'Paradise,' received a Renaissance gable in 1557 and contains a baroque stucco ceiling from 1639 with religious and political statements.
