Michaeliskirche Rohr

The Michaeliskirche features preserved Carolingian walls on its north side, displaying thick stone masonry dating back to the ninth century.

Built between 815 and 824 as a Benedictine monastery church, the structure later served as an imperial palace until the early eleventh century.

The church contains a Gothic pulpit altar and an organ, representing the transformation from Catholic monastery to Protestant village church after the Reformation.

Located in the center of Rohr, the church complex includes a clock tower entrance, a parish house, and a half-timbered building used for winter services.

The underground crypt, rediscovered after 1900, stands as the oldest of its type in central Germany, combining hall and ambulatory architectural elements.
