Marktkirche St. Dionys

The Marktkirche St. Dionys displays Gothic architectural elements including pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and tall lancet windows that illuminate the three-nave hall church interior with natural light.

Construction began in 1441 with the choir foundation stone, followed by the nave in 1466, and completed in 1521 before becoming an evangelical parish church during the 1526 Reformation.

The church houses stained glass windows created between 1894 and 1901 depicting biblical scenes, along with 1684 musical female figures carved on the organ gallery balustrade.

Regular worship services, guided tours, and cultural events take place in this active parish church, which features accessibility improvements for visitors with mobility challenges.

A statue of Empress Theophanu by Kassel sculptor Karin Bohrmann stands within the church walls, commemorating the medieval Holy Roman Empire co-ruler's connection to the region.
