Gymnasialkirche Meppen, Baroque church at Gymnasialstraße, Meppen, Germany
The Gymnasialkirche features red brick walls, with statues adorning the facade and a coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Clemens August of Bavaria.
Built between 1743 and 1746 as part of the Jesuit monastery in Meppen, the church survived the Seven Years War when it served as a hospital.
The church interior contains a high altar from 1755 displaying the Assumption of Mary and a statue of Aloysius Gonzaga between columns.
The church stands integrated with Windthorst-Gymnasium at Gymnasialstraße 3 in Meppen, with exterior viewing available at any time.
The church facade bears the inscription 'EGO SUM VITIS' beneath a 1930 Christ figure, translating to 'I am the vine' in Latin.
