Liobakirche, church building in Tauberbischofsheim, Germany
The Liobakirche is a baroque-style church building in Tauberbischofsheim with a cross-shaped floor plan and a tall steeple. The interior features ornate ceiling paintings, colored windows, and historic wooden benches that create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The Liobakirche was built in 1656 after the previous church building was demolished in 1655. It originally served as a monastery church with Franciscan monks until the monastery was dissolved in 1823.
The church is named after Saint Lioba, an English missionary who founded churches and schools in the region. Her veneration and legacy continue to shape how the community identifies itself and how the space is decorated and used.
The Liobakirche sits on the market square in the center of Tauberbischofsheim and is easily accessible on foot. Weekday services run during summer months, and the interior is open to visitors who wish to explore the artworks and history.
During restoration work in 1968, old graves were discovered beneath the church floor, likely belonging to important figures from the past. This discovery shows that the site has been a center for burials and worship for over a thousand years.
