Marienkirche, Gothic church in Höxter, Germany
The Marienkirche features high Gothic architecture with ribbed vaults, pointed arches, and large stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes throughout the structure.
Founded in 1248 by Abbot Hermann von Dassel, the church received its first consecration in 1283 as part of a Minorite monastery complex.
The church transitioned from Catholic to Protestant ownership in 1804 when local evangelical citizens acquired it to replace the demolished Petrikirche.
The Marienkirche maintains regular opening hours for visitors who can explore the interior, attend services, or participate in guided tours of the building.
The church contains medieval altar canopies and a Baroque gravestone of Mayor Johann Joachim Mertens, plus an organ built by Rudolf von Beckerath in 1950.
