Cruciskirche

Cruciskirche is a church building in Sondershausen featuring a contemporary glass dome atop its tower that contrasts with medieval stone structures. The interior contains multiple spaces available for guided visits and event reservations.

The building's origins trace back to the late 14th century, establishing it as the oldest remaining structure in the city. Over time the original medieval framework has been preserved while modern elements were added in recent decades.

The building now serves as a community center where people gather for chamber concerts and local events throughout the year. It functions as a space where residents experience the interior as a place for shared cultural moments.

The tower is accessible to visitors through guided tours, and the interior spaces can be explored. Planning ahead is helpful if you are interested in joining a tour or attending an event held here.

The structure uses limestone and sandstone held together by seven external buttresses that have supported the ancient walls for centuries. This combination of materials and support systems reflects the careful engineering of medieval builders.
