Altstadtkirche St. Martin, Medieval church in Pforzheim, Germany
The St. Martin Old Town Church stands on Roman foundations and presents a combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.
The original wooden church was constructed in the 7th century, later replaced by a Romanesque basilica in the 12th century and underwent Gothic modifications around 1350.
The church features Gothic frescoes from 1430 depicting the Last Judgment with Christ as the World Judge, along with Mary and John among resurrected souls.
Visitors can access the church on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM to explore its historical and architectural features.
The church houses a Georges Heintz organ from 2000 with 23 registers across two manuals and pedals, accompanied by nine bells in its tower.
