Stiftskirche Römhild

The Stiftskirche features three naves with ribbed vaults, an eastern choir with a grand altar, and a western choir supporting the organ.

First documented in 1341, the church underwent major reconstruction between 1450 and 1470 under the direction of Count Georg I of Henneberg.

The baroque altar from 1692, crafted by Johann Adam Lux, depicts the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist with disciples gathered around.

The church contains a historical library of 846 titles, including 196 volumes published during the 16th century.

Bronze funeral monuments created by Peter Vischer's workshop include a freestanding statue of Otto IV and a sarcophagus of Count Hermann VIII.
