St. Michael, Church building in Weiden in der Oberpfalz, Germany.

St. Michael is a stepped hall church in Weiden in der Oberpfalz, originally Gothic and reworked in Baroque style. Its three naves are separated by tall, slightly pointed round-pillar arcades, and the choir is covered by a barrel vault with lunettes. A 57.75 m tower with a drawn-in onion dome and lantern stands at the southern choir corner; the interior vaults are covered with small-framed late-Baroque stucco.

St. Michael was first documented in 1341, when King John of Bohemia transferred the right of appointment to Waldsassen Abbey; excavations in 2005 showed the original building dates from the 12th or 13th century. After fires in 1396 and 1421, the nave was rebuilt as a stepped hall between 1448 and 1460 and the church was consecrated in 1469. The tower collapsed in March 1759 and rebuilding was completed in 1763 by Georg Dobmayer of Kaltenbrunn. From 1633 to 1899 it was used jointly by Catholics and Protestants.

From 1633 to 1899 St. Michael was used jointly by Catholics and Protestants. A rotating mechanism beside the altar held the solution: closed doors for Lutheran services, opened niches with Catholic saint figures for Mass. Parity was strict — two sextons, two pastors, two clock winders and two tower guards, with duties swapping every 14 days.

The church stands at Anton-Seith-Platz in central Weiden. The main entrance is the west portal, framed in sandstone and inscribed with the years 1448 and 1762. The south choir slope holds an Ölberg chapel with 18th-century carved figures, renovated in 1979; on the north choir side a sandstone relief shows an Ölberg scene from after 1450, bearing a fire date of 1545.

The tower reaches 57.75 m: 40 m of masonry topped by a 17.75 m timber structure, with a gallery above the top floor where a tower watchman lived until 1914. The gallery was made by Erhard Christian Haberl. The tower's footprint measures 7.6 m by 7.6 m.
