Stiftskirche Herrenberg, Gothic church in Herrenberg, Germany

The Stiftskirche rises 57 meters high above the town of Herrenberg with a Baroque onion dome replacing its former Gothic towers in 1749.

Construction of the church took place between 1276 and 1493, making it the first completed Gothic hall church in the Württemberg region.

The stone pulpit from 1504 by Master Hanselmann and choirstalls from 1517 with Heinrich Schickhardt carvings represent medieval craftsmanship.

The church houses the Glockenmuseum, containing over 35 operational bells and offering guided tours in German and English languages.

The 6.4-ton Maxima bell and the 3.6-ton Gloriosa bell form part of the largest collection of functioning bells worldwide.
