Heiligen-Geist-Kirche, Gothic brick church in Wismar, Germany
The Heiligen-Geist-Kirche features a single-nave structure with Gothic windows, recessed portals, and massive buttresses supporting its brick walls.
Built in the early 14th century, the church received papal protection in 1323 and served as a hospital, shelter, and place of worship for the local community.
The interior contains a Renaissance pulpit, Germany's oldest Protestant church pews from 1571, and a baroque wooden ceiling with painted biblical narratives.
Located at Lübsche Straße 31 in Wismar, the church stands near the World Heritage House and features works from other local historical churches.
The church wall displays a rare Latin inscription 'Deo Gracias' that can be read in 504 different combinations, one of only two such puzzles in Europe.
