Aegidienkirche, Gothic church ruins in Mitte, Germany
The Aegidienkirche stands as a sandstone structure with Gothic architecture, featuring remaining walls adorned with Baroque grave monuments from past centuries.
Built in 1347 to replace a Romanesque church from 1163, the building received modifications including a Baroque tower facade designed by Sudfeld Vick between 1703 and 1711.
The church transforms into a venue for art exhibitions, concerts, and memorial services, maintaining its role as a center for community gatherings.
The memorial site remains open daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a carillon playing four times each day at specific hours.
A peace bell from Hiroshima rings simultaneously with its twin in Japan every August 6th, symbolizing international remembrance and connection.
