Dominikanerkloster Bad Wimpfen, Gothic church in Bad Wimpfen, Germany
The Dominican Church features a hall layout with a 14-meter-wide nave connecting to a narrow Gothic choir on the eastern side.
The monastery foundation dates to 1269, with the church built on the site of a former high court and consecrated by Bishop Albertus Magnus.
The main altar from 1737 contains paintings by Johannes Gisser depicting figures from monastery founder Engelhard von Weinsberg to Saint Christopher.
The church serves as the Catholic parish church of the Holy Cross, while the former monastery buildings now house the Hohenstaufen High School.
A cross relic discovered in a lead capsule within the old high altar has been venerated in the church since the 13th century.
