Herrenhäuser Church, Gothic Revival church in Herrenhausen-Stöcken, Germany.

The Herrenhäuser Church reaches 72 meters in height and features a prominent four-sided pinnacle spire constructed entirely from sandstone materials.

Built between 1904 and 1906 under architect Eberhard Hillebrand's direction, the church received financial support from banker Moritz Simon and local villagers.

The interior follows Greek cross proportions with three galleries, incorporating stained glass windows that depict Jesus with his disciples created by O. Brenneisen.

The church sanctuary currently accommodates 650 visitors, reduced from its original capacity of 930 seats following late 20th-century restoration work.

An aerial mine during World War II damaged the church windows, leading to their replacement with new stained glass designs that maintain the building's character.
