St.-Stephani-Kirche, Gothic church on the highest hill of Helmstedt, Germany
St.-Stephani-Kirche stands as a three-aisled Gothic hall church with a strong westwork structure and unfinished towers at roof level.
The construction of the current church began around 1230 after its Romanesque predecessor was damaged during conflicts on New Year's Eve 1199.
Between 1576 and 1703, the church served as both a parish church and the central place of worship for the University of Helmstedt.
The church welcomes visitors daily from April to October between 10:00 and 18:00, and from November to March between 10:00 and 16:00.
The church contains a brass baptismal font from 1590 that displays biblical narratives about baptism and conversion from both testaments.
