Sankt Getreu, Baroque church building in Bamberg, Germany.

Sankt Getreu stands on a hill with two distinctive bell towers, featuring ceiling paintings and a high altar containing a Gothic Virgin Mary statue.

The church building emerged from a Benedictine priory consecrated in 1124, with the current structure constructed between 1652 and 1732 in Bavaria.

The interior decoration includes ceiling paintings from 1760 and an organ built by Eusebius Dietmann with 27 registers across two manuals and pedal.

The church operates as part of Sozialstiftung Bamberg, incorporating a psychiatric clinic and medical facility within the former priory buildings.

Two bells from 1733 by Johann Ignatius Höhn remain in the tower, producing specific musical notes of e2 and g2 when rung together.
