Dreifaltigkeitskirche, Gothic church building in Alsfeld, Germany
The Dreifaltigkeitskirche is a Gothic church building in Alsfeld featuring cross-ribbed vaults and a stone pulpit with wooden sounding board throughout its interior. Medieval fresco remnants decorate the space, while an asymmetrical hall structure with central and side naves defines its layout.
The building began as an Augustinian monastery church in the late 13th century and underwent major expansion between 1415 and 1436. These renovations created the hall church structure that defines the building today.
The church serves the Protestant community of Alsfeld as a winter worship space where services and events take place regularly. Visitors can observe how the building remains central to local religious life today.
The church welcomes visitors and offers guided tours through the Protestant parish office. Public transportation stops are located nearby for convenient access.
The building lacks a tower, following traditions of mendicant religious orders. This unusual design choice remains visible today and shapes the church's distinctive appearance.
