Liebfrauenkirche zu Schotten

The Liebfrauenkirche features a three-nave hall structure with four bays and an eastern section marked by a tall crossing tower.

The church construction began in 1350 through the endowment of Countess Lukarde von Eppenstein and Count Konrad von Trimberg, receiving papal recognition from Avignon.

The central altar displays 16 painted scenes depicting the life of Mary and Jesus, created around 1385 by an artist known as the Schotten Master.

The Wegmann organ, installed in 1782, contains 31 registers across two manuals with 2,002 pipes, six of which remain in their original condition.

The altar paintings maintain their color intensity through the centuries due to the use of mineral pigments including lapis lazuli, azurite, malachite, and cinnabar.
