St. Elisabeth's Church, Gothic church in Marburg, Germany
The stone building reaches 80 meters in height with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses supporting its vertical structure.
The Teutonic Order initiated the construction in 1235, following Elizabeth of Hungary's death, and completed the church's official opening in 1283.
The church houses a golden sarcophagus containing Saint Elizabeth's relics, along with original stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th centuries.
The entrance area and certain sections of the church present limitations for wheelchair users due to the medieval architectural design.
The church contains bells from the 13th and 14th centuries that continue to function, and the last German Reich president rests in its North chapel.
