Schottenkirche, Romanesque church in Old Town Erfurt, Germany.
The Schottenkirche features a three-nave basilica design with Romanesque architecture and Gothic modifications, including a Baroque western facade added in the 1720s.
Founded in 1036 by Walther von Glisberg as part of the Benedictine monastery, the church was completed around 1200 and underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1472.
The church functioned as a subsidiary of the Scottish Monastery of Regensburg, marking the presence of Scottish religious communities in medieval Germany.
Located near the center of Erfurt, the church contains the tomb of Bishop Hildeward of Naumburg-Zeitz and displays stained glass windows created by Charles Crodel.
The floor level of the church was raised during 1956 renovations to match its original 12th-century height, revealing the structure's medieval foundations.
