St. Sylvestri, Gothic church in Wernigerode, Germany
The church stands on the founding hill of Wernigerode called Klint, featuring a neo-Gothic tower built between 1880 and 1886 and substantial side aisles.
Founded as a small chapel by Benedictine monks in the 9th century, the structure transformed into a collegiate church dedicated to Pope St. Sylvester in 1265.
The interior contains a late Gothic winged altar from 1480, medieval bells from 1297 and 1500, and one of Germany's earliest oak cabinet dating to the 13th century.
The church opens Tuesday through Saturday from 14:00 to 16:00, with additional hours during services and group visits scheduled by appointment.
A dedicated reflection space in the north aisle allows visitors to write prayer requests in a book, which the church community addresses during worship services.
