St. Paulus, Catholic church in Göttingen, Germany.
St. Paulus is a Catholic church in Göttingen with a western facade, two rounded polygonal towers, and a tall tower with an octagonal upper section. The building follows Neobaroque design and stands in the city center.
The building was constructed between 1927 and 1929 and was the second Catholic church built in Göttingen after the Protestant Reformation. It marks an important moment in the revival of the Catholic community in the city.
The western gable displays a monumental statue of the Apostle Paul, while artistic paintings inside depict religious scenes. These artworks shape the interior appearance and draw visitors to pause and reflect.
The church is easy to reach in the city center and maintains its original exterior structure, making it a clear landmark. Visitors can explore the interior and may also take part in community events.
The building combines Neobaroque elements with flying buttresses that support the main nave walls upward. This architectural solution is uncommon and shows skilled craftsmanship in the construction.
