St. Michael, Baroque parish church in Aachen-Mitte, Germany

The church structure features three galleries and a tower constructed between 1658 and 1668, incorporating Rhine mannerism architectural elements throughout its design.

Originally built between 1617 and 1628 as part of the Aachen Jesuit Collegium, the building served different purposes including a granary during French occupation.

The church transformed from its Jesuit origins to become the Church of Archangel Michael - St Dimitrios, now serving the Greek Orthodox community since 1987.

Located at coordinates 50.7639 latitude and 6.09444 longitude, the church remains open for Orthodox services and maintains popularity among musical groups for performances.

Artist Christophanis Voutsinas added Orthodox paintings to the interior between 1997 and 2002, merging traditional Greek Orthodox art with the existing baroque architecture.
