St. Martin, Gothic minor basilica in Amberg, Germany.
The Saint Martin Basilica features three naves of identical height, crowned by a shared gable roof and reinforced by exterior buttresses.
Construction of this sandstone church started in 1421 and extended over a century, replacing a previous Romanesque structure from the 14th century.
The basilica transitioned between Catholic and Protestant services during the Reformation period before returning permanently to Catholic worship in 1628.
The 92-meter tower remains open to visitors, offering views over the Bavarian city from its observation platform.
The wooden roof structure spans 28 meters without support, utilizing an innovative cantilever design unprecedented for its construction period.
