Kirche St. Michael, Romanesque Revival church in Homburg, Germany

St. Michael is a Romanesque Revival hall church built of red sandstone ashlar blocks at the foot of the Schlossberg. Its octagonal choir tower rises above the choir, which ends in an apse, and the interior holds two organs: a main organ and a choir organ.

The present church replaced the Heiligkreuzkapelle im Tal, a chapel first documented in 1335 and the earliest church recorded in Homburg; its last service was held in 1836. Built on the same site from 1836 to 1841 to plans by Munich civil building inspector August von Voit, it was consecrated on 29 September 1841 by Speyer bishop Johannes von Geissel. At the consecration, pastor Johannes Jackel thanked district commissioner Johann Christian Chelius for his zeal throughout the project. Restorations followed in 1930–31, 1970–72, 1991 and 1996–97.

The baldachin altar of 1898 was funded by a gift of 20,000 marks from Prince Leopold of Bavaria and designed by Munich sculptor Georg Busch, executed by the Jacob Leser court art workshop in Straubing. Its four columns carry a canopy inscribed in Latin: "ECCE TABERNACVLVM DEI CVM HOMINIBVS". On the front kneel Pope Clement with keys and book and the donor prince with sword and scroll.

The church stands at the foot of the Schlossberg, a short walk from Homburg's market square, and is listed as an individual monument within the Marktplatz/Klosterstraße ensemble. The main organ, built in 1968 by Hugo Mayer Orgelbau, has a free-standing console facing the altar and 36 stops on three manuals and pedal.

The church's two most prized pieces are Baroque monstrances. It also keeps a chalice bearing a relief of Maria Amalia, wife of Karl II August of Pfalz-Zweibrücken, and her wedding dress, which was remade into a cope. The choir once held frescoes by Gebhard Fugel painted in 1902–1904, largely painted over during the 1970s renovation.
