St.-Veit-Kirche, Gothic church in Gärtringen, Germany
Description
St.-Veit-Kirche is a Gothic church in Gärtringen with a striking network of ribbed vaults extending across the nave, side aisles, choir, and sacristy. The windows display pointed arches and intricate Gothic tracery work.
History
Construction began with the tower between 1455 and 1460, followed by the nave built from 1485 to 1500. This replaced an earlier structure dating from the 13th century.
Culture
The church transitioned from Catholic to Protestant worship in 1534 when Duke Ulrich introduced the Reformation to the region of Württemberg.
Practical
The building is not always open to the public, so it is wise to check visiting conditions before arriving. Visiting on a bright day helps you appreciate the fine details of the vaults and windows more fully.
