St. Emmeram, Medieval church building in Spalt, Germany

The St. Emmeram church presents a three-nave basilica design with two western towers and features classical Romanesque architectural elements throughout its structure.

Founded in 1037 through a donation by Adelheid, mother of Conrad II, the church transformed from a monastic community into a canonry under Bishop Gebhard III of Regensburg.

The interior of St. Emmeram contains the Spalter Madonna, a late Gothic sculpture from 1519, measuring 60 centimeters and commissioned by Georg Spalatin.

The church maintains regular religious services and contains a 1982 Mathis & Söhne organ with 25 registers across two manuals and a pedal system.

The building served dual purposes when the St. Nicholas foundation shared its basilica in 1295 before constructing their separate church facility.
