Retscher, Gothic ruin in Speyer, Germany.

The Retscher structure features stone window openings with cloverleaf arches next to the Trinity Church in the old town district.

Built in the 13th century by Retschelinus, mentioned in records from 1241, the building suffered destruction during the events of 1689.

From 1628 to 1648, the structure functioned as a prayer hall for the Lutheran community, marking a period of religious transformation.

The location at coordinates 49.31817, 8.4394 allows visitors to combine exploration with nearby medieval architectural sites in central Speyer.

This medieval building remains the sole preserved non-religious structure from its period in Speyer, featuring late Staufer architectural elements.
