Stadtkirche Wittenberg, Gothic church in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany.

The Stadtkirche Wittenberg features two prominent towers, a three-aisle nave, and multiple architectural elements representing medieval German church construction methods.

Construction of the current structure began in 1280 with the chancel, followed by continuous additions until the completion of both towers in 1439.

The church contains numerous artworks from the Cranach family workshop, including an altarpiece created by Lucas Cranach the Younger depicting biblical scenes.

Visitors can join guided tours lasting 45 minutes for 5 euros per person to explore the church's architecture and historical artifacts.

This building marked the location of the first Protestant mass celebrated in German language during Christmas of 1521, replacing the traditional Latin service.
