Church of St. George, Romanesque church in Oberzell, Germany.
The Church of St. George stands on Reichenau Island in Lake Constance, featuring thick stone walls and rounded arches characteristic of medieval construction.
Construction of the church began in 900 CE as part of the Reichenau Abbey complex, which served as a primary religious center during the Middle Ages.
The interior walls display a complete set of tenth-century frescoes depicting biblical narratives, representing early medieval artistic techniques north of the Alps.
Visitors reach the church by ferry or road from mainland Germany, with guided tours available Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The church contains the preserved head relic of Saint George, received as a gift from Pope Gregory II during the eighth century.
