St. Vitus, Gothic parish church in Handschuhsheim, Heidelberg, Germany
The St. Vitus church features a polygonal choir with two-part tracery windows and a net ribbed vault used as a baptismal chapel.
First documented in 774 as property of Lorsch Abbey, the church changed dedication from Saint Nazarius to Saints Vitus and George in 1232.
The church contains numerous Renaissance tombstones depicting notable figures from Handschuhsheim both inside the building and in the grounds.
Located at Steubenstrasse corner Pfarrgasse in Heidelberg, the church serves the Roman Catholic community with regular services and cultural events.
The bell tower contains a seven-voiced carillon including the oldest bell from 1791 that survived both World Wars.
