Stiftskirche Laufen, Gothic church in Laufen, Germany.
The Stiftskirche Laufen stretches upward with eight pillars reaching 33 meters high, featuring ribbed vaults and pointed arches throughout its six bays.
Construction of the Gothic hall structure began around 1330, incorporating elements from the previous Romanesque basilica, with substantial funding from knight Heinrich von Lampoldingen.
The church interior displays detailed capitals with foliage patterns, Christ symbols, and figurative motifs that reflect medieval artistic traditions.
Visitors can explore the 15th-century cloister surrounding the church, which contains burial sites of historical town merchants and nobility.
The building stands as Bavaria's oldest hall church, constructed with unplastered Nagelfluh blocks and covered by an extensive hipped roof.
