Martinskirche Christenberg, Church structure from 1100 in Wetter, Germany
The Martinskirche consists of a Romanesque nave with a western tower from the 11th century and a late Gothic choir from 1520.
During medieval times, Martinskirche served as a central church for the upper Lahn and Eder valleys under the Archdiocese of Mainz until 1522.
The church structure sits atop an ancient plateau that previously hosted Celtic settlements between 480 and 280 BCE, marking centuries of human presence.
The church building occupies the northwest section of a cemetery within a former Carolingian fortress, with three buttresses supporting each long wall.
The exterior features a two-story stone pulpit from the 16th century, accessed by an external staircase, which allowed outdoor preaching and display of relics.
