St. Michael, Romanesque church in Altenstadt, Germany

The St. Michael basilica stands with two towers flanking the main apse, constructed of regular tuff masonry and featuring restrained architectural elements.

Built between 1180 and 1220, the church maintained its original form while other Bavarian churches underwent Gothic and Baroque renovations in subsequent centuries.

The interior contains a monumental Crucified Christ sculpture from the 13th century, measuring 3.2 meters in height, alongside Romanesque and Gothic frescoes.

Located at Triebstraße 4 in Altenstadt, the basilica extends 40 meters in length and reaches a central nave height of 13.2 meters.

Six pairs of massive pillars separate the naves, with cross vaults decorated with mythical animals and masks, complemented by Corinthian-style capital ornaments.
