Unser Lieben Frauen, Romanesque church in Burg, Germany

Unser Lieben Frauen is a Gothic town church in Burg with a late-Romanesque westwork whose two fieldstone towers differ: the south tower has a slender spire added in 1585, the north tower was raised in 1586 for a tower keeper's dwelling. The five-bay hall nave was rebuilt between 1412 and 1455, and the two-bay choir was consecrated in 1359. The south side has three-part tracery windows and a brick east gable from 1567.

Unser Lieben Frauen was first mentioned in 1186. Its late Romanesque westwork with two towers was built from carefully cut field-stone blocks around the middle of the 13th century. The two-bay choir was consecrated in 1359, and the five-bay hall nave was rebuilt between 1412 and 1455. The south tower received its slender spire in 1585, the north tower was raised in 1586.

The name Unser Lieben Frauen, "Our Dear Lady", refers to Mary; the church is also called Oberkirche to distinguish it from the lower church of St. Nicolai. The 1607 altar by Michael Spieß of Magdeburg shows the Passover meal, the Last Supper and the Crucifixion in alabaster reliefs, with a Resurrection group above.

The church stands in Burg, Saxony-Anhalt, with its unequal twin towers visible from the town centre. The south tower's slender spire dates from 1585 and the north tower was raised in 1586 for a tower keeper's dwelling. Visitors enter through the south portals, the first bay serving as the main portal with crocket ornament and flanking pinnacles.

The south tower's slender spire dates from 1585, while the north tower was raised in 1586 to house a tower keeper and capped with a curved hood and lantern. The choir's painted coffered ceiling has been in place since 1592 and has been restored several times.
