Basilica of St. Martin, Bingen am Rhein, Gothic minor basilica in Bingen am Rhein, Germany
The Basilica of St. Martin rises along the Nahe River bank, displaying Gothic architecture with its prominent stone facade and ornate entrance portal.
The construction of the church began with the crypt around 793, making it one of the oldest religious structures in the Austrasia region.
The basilica contains numerous artworks depicting St. Martin of Tours through frescoes, sculptures, and an elaborate altarpiece representing Christian traditions.
The basilica requires approximately 5 million euros in restoration funds for essential repairs to the tower and roof structures through private donations.
The Aetherius Stone discovered within the basilica provides physical evidence of 1500 years of continuous Christian presence in Bingen.
