St. Michael's Church, Romanesque church in Hildesheim, Germany
The symmetrical building features a double-choir basilica with two transepts, alternating columns, and piers that define its architectural structure.
Bishop Bernward commissioned the construction of St. Michael's Church in 1010, which was completed and consecrated on September 29, 1022.
The painted wooden ceiling from the 13th century displays the Tree of Jesse, presenting an extensive genealogy of Christ through medieval artistry.
The church maintains regular opening hours and provides wheelchair access, allowing visitors to explore both Protestant and Catholic worship areas.
After complete destruction in 1945, the reconstruction process preserved the original Ottonian design, leading to a new consecration in 1960.
