Augustinerkirche Gotha, Medieval church building in Gotha, Germany.

The Augustinerkirche features a hall church design with a long chancel and lacks a tower due to its construction as a mendicant order church.

Founded in 1216 by Cistercian nuns, the church transferred to Augustinian monks in 1258, who expanded the complex and built a new structure.

Martin Luther preached at this church on April 8, 1521, marking a significant moment before its conversion to Protestant worship in 1524.

The church contains a 1993 organ by Rudolf Böhm and Gerhard Schmid, built within the 1692 Wedemann brothers case, featuring 49 registers.

The adjacent monastery includes a complete Gothic cloister from 1366 that houses gravestones and epitaphs of notable Gotha personalities.
