St. Albani, Gothic church building in Göttingen, Germany.
St. Albani is a three-aisled Gothic hall church at the eastern edge of Göttingen's center with high vaulted ceilings and stone construction. The interior is divided by slender columns and designed to accommodate significant artworks.
The current church structure began in 1423 and replaced an earlier building that served the community since medieval times. This new construction was part of Göttingen's urban development during the late Middle Ages.
The church displays medieval wall paintings and houses an important altarpiece by Hans von Geismar that reflects the artistic traditions of the region. These works shape the interior character and connect visitors to the local heritage.
The church is located at Albaniplatz and is well served by public buses. Visitors can explore the building during daylight hours and should wear respectful clothing when entering the interior.
The church's bronze bells were cast in 2018 and represent a modern addition to this medieval structure. Their sounds ring regularly and blend historical tradition with contemporary craftsmanship.
