Veitskirche, Protestant church on Veitsberg, Thuringia.
The Veitskirche features a massive western bell tower, integrated Gothic portals, and an octagonal sacristy built into former castle remains.
The church's origins date to 974 with the Otto chapel serving as a castle chapel, while major expansions occurred around 1170 with a Romanesque addition.
The late Gothic altarpiece from 1480 by Hans Topher displays intricate artworks depicting the life of Mary and Jesus upon opening.
The church holds regular services and monthly concerts, with access through the residential area of Wünschendorf/Elster.
The south window contains glass fragments from 1170-1190 showing the Root of Jesse, representing Jesus's genealogy.
