St. Michaelis

The St. Michaelis church combines neogothic, classical, and biedermeier architectural elements within its stone walls and high-reaching structure.

Following the devastating fire of 1823 that destroyed most of Hof, the church was rebuilt between 1826 and 1834 according to Georg Erhard Saher's plans.

The original high altar from 1465, known in art history as the Hof Altar, is now displayed at the Alte Pinakothek museum in Munich.

The church functions as the main religious building of Hof and serves as the dean's seat for regular services and community gatherings.

The Heidenreich organ, completed between 1828 and 1834, remains the largest preserved instrument from the renowned Hof organ-building family.
