St. Blasii

The St. Blasii church features two asymmetrical towers with distinct heights, incorporating late Romanesque-early Gothic elements from its original construction phase.

First documented in 1234 during Heinrich VII's reign, the church underwent reconstruction at the end of the 15th century, maintaining its western towers from the earlier structure.

In 1524, the church became central to the Protestant Reformation when Johann Spangenberg, an associate of Martin Luther, assumed the role of pastor.

The Protestant church welcomes visitors at Barfüßerstraße 2 in Nordhausen, with contact available through phone number 03631 981640 or email at blasiigemeinde@web.de.

Lightning struck one of the towers in 1634, resulting in the replacement of its original spire with a shorter helmet-style structure.
