St. Cyriakus, Romanesque church in Gernrode, Germany
The Saint Cyriakus Church features a three-nave structure with twin towers, eastern and western apses, and galleries above the side aisles spanning the entire length.
Margrave Gero founded this church in 959 as part of a women's abbey, which received imperial status from Otto I in 961.
The church holds daily services and maintains its function as a Protestant parish church since 1521, making it one of Germany's first Lutheran establishments.
Visitors can access the church between November and December from 2 PM to 3 PM daily, while January through March opening hours are limited to weekends.
The church contains Germany's oldest Holy Sepulchre, constructed before the First Crusade, with detailed relief decorations depicting the burial and resurrection.
