St. Gertrud

St. Gertrud is a three-nave church built in the Gothic Revival style in Dingelstädt with a spacious interior layout. Interior columns support the structure and draw the eye toward the vaulted ceiling above.

A fire in 1688 destroyed the original church and even melted its bells. The rebuilding took more than 150 years to complete in 1855 as the town grew and needed a larger space.

The church honors Saint Gertrude and Mary through its side altars and statues of apostles placed along the interior columns. These religious figures hold deep meaning for visitors and the local community who come to pray and reflect.

The church is open during services and special events, though doors are often accessible at other times throughout the week. It helps to check ahead for scheduled concerts or performances that might be happening during your visit.

The Feith organ built from 1932 to 1933 features 44 registers and ranks among the largest instruments in the Eichsfeld region. Its sound fills the entire space and makes musical performances here particularly memorable.
