St. Thomas Church, Lutheran church in Zentrum, Leipzig, Germany.
The St. Thomas Church features late Gothic architecture with a 68-meter tower, extending 76 meters in length and 25 meters in width.
Construction of the church began in 1401, and between 1482 and 1496 the Romanesque structure transformed into the current late Gothic building.
The St. Thomas Boys Choir, established in 1212, performs regular concerts and maintains a continuous musical tradition within these historic walls.
The church welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering guided tower tours on weekends from April through November.
Johann Sebastian Bach served as the church's music director from 1723 until 1750, and his remains rest beneath the choir area.
