St. Martin's Church

St. Martin's Church is a Gothic parish church featuring a stone facade, soaring windows, and a tower that rises above the central nave. The interior was enriched with a new organ installed in 2020.

The church grew from a settlement of Franciscan monks who arrived in Freiburg around 1226. The current structure was completed between 1262 and 1318, shaping the city's character for centuries.

The church serves as a place where different faith communities gather and worship together today. Visitors can observe how the local Catholic parish and the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic community share this space for their religious practices.

Entry to the church is free and the interior is easy to explore with all areas accessible on foot. Take time to look closely at the architectural details of the facade and tower when you visit.

Six bronze bells from 1968 ring in the tower, while a historical bell from 1729 remains preserved in the parish courtyard. This older bell tells a longer story of the place stretching back to the early 18th century.
