Pfarrkirche St. Martin

Pfarrkirche St. Martin is a baroque parish church in Langenargen's town center, featuring a prominent 55-meter north tower and distinctive yellow facade. The building showcases baroque architectural elements that make it visually distinctive in the town.

Construction started in 1720 under master builder Leonhard Gmeiner, replacing an earlier sanctuary from the Merovingian period. This rebuilding represented a significant moment in the town's architectural development.

The interior displays refined stucco work and striking ceiling paintings that catch your eye as you enter. The ornate pulpit and decorative details throughout shape how the space feels and reveals the craftsmanship invested in this place.

The church is open daily and sits centrally at the town square, making it easy to visit and locate. Visitors can use the tower as a landmark to orient themselves while exploring the surrounding area.

The tower holds five bells, including the Evangelist bell from the 14th century, one of the oldest in the building. A later addition called the Martin bell was placed to honor those lost in World War II.
