Aegidienkirche, Braunschweig, Gothic abbey church in Innenstadt, Braunschweig, Germany.
The Aegidienkirche stands as a high Gothic hall church building without towers on the southern edge of Braunschweig's city center.
Founded in 1115 as a Benedictine monastery church, the structure burned in 1278 and was rebuilt in Gothic style until 1320.
Twenty-three choir groups comprising 450 singers regularly perform in the church, including a children's choir school with 300 participants.
The church houses a three-manual Klais organ from 1965 and contains a baptismal font made of Portuguese marble installed in 2008.
The church features medieval sculptures depicting demons and leaf ornaments on column capitals, which survived its temporary conversion into a prison.
