Kleine Marienkirche Lippstadt

The Kleine Marienkirche features remaining exterior walls, with coupled windows containing three sections and early tracery on both north and south sides.

Construction of the church began around 1190 with a Romanesque nun's choir in the west, which received consecration in 1222.

The church belongs to the Damenstift Lippstadt, a public corporation established during the Reformation as an evangelical institution from an Augustinian women's community.

The church ruins remain accessible for visitors throughout the year, located within the preserved medieval monastery walls in central Lippstadt.

The structure exhibits an unusual dual-choir arrangement, departing from the typical design of similar-sized churches that normally featured a nun's gallery in the nave.
