Marienkirche, Gothic church in Torgau, Germany
The Marienkirche features three naves with polygonal endings in the east, where the middle nave extends into an elongated choir section.
Originally constructed as a Romanesque basilica between 1200 and 1220, the church underwent transformation into a Gothic hall structure starting from 1390.
The church contains the marble altar designed by Giovanni Simonetti and crafted by Santino Caprani between 1694 and 1697.
The church remains closed during winter months and reopens on April 1st, with regular visiting hours from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Five colored keystones in the choir area, based on Martin Schonauer engravings, depict Jesus, Mary with infant, and other religious figures.
