St. Mary's Church, Mühlhausen, Gothic church in Mühlhausen, Germany

Built from local travertine stone, this five-nave hall church features a central tower reaching 86.7 meters and two side towers of 42 meters each.

Construction of the church started in 1317, marked by an indulgence letter from Archbishop Peter of Mainz, in what was then the new town of Mühlhausen.

During the German Peasants' War in 1525, Protestant reformer Thomas Müntzer served as the church's pastor and led significant religious transformations in the region.

The church contains three large bells in its central tower, including the Maria bell from 1490 weighing 5.5 tons and a Sunday bell from 1701 weighing 3 tons.

The Sauer organ, installed in 1891, represents the largest preserved 19th-century organ in the state of Thuringia.
