Tabor Church, Romanesque church in Alt-Hohenschönhausen, Germany.
Tabor Church is a Romanesque stone building in Alt-Hohenschönhausen featuring a rectangular layout with round arch windows and a central supporting pillar beneath the vaults. The structure displays the characteristic construction methods and proportions typical of medieval ecclesiastical architecture.
The building rose around 1230 to replace an earlier wooden structure as the congregation grew and required a larger space. By 1450 it underwent major reconstruction when a new nave was added, establishing the form seen today.
The interior showcases carved wooden saints and an ornate altar that reflect the craftsmanship of earlier generations. These works reveal how local artists expressed religious devotion through their skilled hands and gave shape to the community's faith.
Visitors can attend regular worship services or explore the building at other times to see the restored organ and interior artworks. The church is accessible on foot and has straightforward layout that is easy to navigate.
The eastern gable wall displays a fascinating blend where late medieval rounded arches meet early Gothic pointed arches. This architectural transition reveals how building techniques evolved and often goes unnoticed by casual visitors.
