St. Markus, Parish church in Wittlich, Germany.

St. Markus stands as a three-nave pillar basilica combining late Gothic and early Baroque architectural elements with a square, three-story slate-covered tower.

Construction of the church began in 1707 under Archbishop Johann VIII Hugo von Orsbeck and reached completion in 1724 under Franz Ludwig von Pfalz-Neuburg.

The choir stalls, positioned along the south wall from 1770 and north wall from 1820, underwent additional expansions in 1927.

The church features cycle-coordinated windows created between 1949 and 1952 to replace those damaged during wartime.

The organ prospect from 1769, crafted by Peter and Nikel Schreiber in North German style, maintains its original state with recent restoration in 2000.
