St. Godehard, Romanesque church building in Hildesheim, Germany
The St. Godehard church features two apses, thick walls, sturdy pillars, and semi-circular arches characteristic of medieval religious architecture.
Construction of St. Godehard began in 1133 and concluded with its consecration by Bishop Adelog in 1172 to honor Saint Mary and Saint Godehard.
The structure maintains its original Romanesque design elements, making it a reference point for understanding medieval German religious architectural development.
The former convent buildings adjacent to St. Godehard now house the Fachhochschule für Verwaltung und Rechtspflege, an administrative and legal studies institution.
The church remained undamaged during World War II and served as the temporary cathedral of Hildesheim from 1945 to 1960.
