Markuskirche, Gothic church in Butzbach, Germany

The Markuskirche spans three naves with stone walls, corner blocks, vaulted ceilings, and tall pillars forming a complete hall church structure.

Originally constructed as a basilica in the early 13th century, the church underwent transformation into its current Gothic hall form between 1430 and 1520.

The church holds Germany's second-oldest preserved organ prospect, created by Georg Wagner in 1614, along with a Romanesque baptismal font from the 13th century.

The Markuskirche serves the Protestant community of Butzbach through regular services, peace prayers, Bible study sessions, and special religious celebrations.

The landgrave crypt from 1620-1622 contains sarcophagi of Philipp III and his family members, accessed through a stone staircase in the south choir.
