St. Martin, Lorch, Gothic church in Lorch, Germany
The parish church of St. Martin features an impressive high altar crafted by Hans von Worms in 1483, standing as the largest monochrome altar in Germany.
Construction of St. Martin began in 1270 with the choir section, followed by the main nave in 1304 and a second nave addition in 1398.
The church maintains medieval choir benches from the late 13th century, decorated with carved figures and a Gothic tabernacle from the 15th century.
St. Martin welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 to 17:00, allowing them to explore its architectural features and historical religious artifacts.
The church organ contains a special 'Riesling stop' that opens a hidden door while playing bird sounds, revealing two wine bottles and glasses inside.
