Kirche St. Michael, Romanesque Revival church in Homburg, Germany
The red sandstone church features an octagonal choir tower rising above the nave and terminates in an interior apse at its eastern end.
Following the demolition of Holy Cross Chapel in 1836, this new church was constructed between 1836 and 1841 according to plans by architect August von Voit.
The interior houses a remarkable baldachin altar from 1898, donated by Prince Leopold of Bavaria and designed by sculptor Georg Busch with religious motifs.
The church contains two organs: the main instrument rebuilt in 1968 by Hugo Mayer Orgelbau and a choir organ added in the mid-1970s.
Five bronze bells, cast in 1953 by Otto Bell Foundry in Saarlouis, ring from the steel bell frame for different occasions throughout the year.
