St. Michaelis in Braunschweig

The red sandstone and light limestone construction features three naves forming a hall church with late Gothic sculptures on the northern gables.

Initially consecrated in 1157 by Bishop Bruno of Hildesheim, the church transformed from a single-nave structure to its current Gothic form between the 13th and 15th centuries.

The church serves as a performance venue, hosting regular concerts including vocal ensembles and seasonal musical events throughout the calendar year.

Visitors can access the church through guided tours, attend weekly services, or participate in community events organized by the congregation administration.

Medieval travelers entering Braunschweig through Michaelis Gate would touch the carved head of Christ on the church wall for good fortune.
