Description
Stadtkirche St. Marien is a medieval church with an 86-meter tower supported by twelve internal pillars. Its Gothic structure shapes the skyline of Kemberg with a distinctive profile.

The church was built in medieval times but gained major significance from 1521 onward when Kemberg embraced Lutheran ideas. This turning point reshaped the congregation and its religious direction.
