St.Mary's Uelzen

St. Mary's in Uelzen is a brick church built in the Gothic style, recognizable by its 86-meter tower and red brick construction. Inside the building sits the Apostles' Chapel, which adds a separate devotional space to the overall structure.

Construction began in the 13th century across several phases continuing into the 14th century, with parish church status granted in 1292. This gradual development over generations reflects how the community expanded its religious importance over time.

The name reflects medieval devotion to Mary that still shapes the spiritual identity of this place today. Visitors can observe how the red brick walls and interior details express the artistic values of their era.

The church sits in the center of Uelzen and is easy to find, with its tall tower visible from many spots around the city. Visitors can attend services or simply view the building and explore its surroundings on foot.

The Apostles' Chapel was added in 1350 as a donated gift, showing how wealthy believers in medieval churches would add their own devotional spaces. This chapel still defines a distinct area within the building today.
