Otterberg abbey church, Religious monument in Otterberg, Germany.

The Otterberg abbey church features late Romanesque architecture with thick stone walls, rounded arches, and three High Gothic windows in the chapter hall.

The construction of this Cistercian abbey church began in 1168 and continued for 90 years until its consecration in 1254.

The church maintains its role as a simultaneum, where Protestant and Catholic congregations share the space for their respective religious services.

Located at Hauptstr. 58 in Otterberg, the church welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM for tours and religious observations.

The structure extends 80 meters in length and contains sections of the medieval enclosure wall integrated throughout the surrounding old town area.
