St.-Markus-Kirche

St.-Markus-Kirche features a prominent tower rising at the eastern side of Bredeneyer Cross on Frankenstrasse, with a main nave accommodating 400 seats.

The original Markus Chapel, constructed between 1036 and 1136, preceded the current church, which was built in 1880 and expanded in 1932.

The church contains numerous art pieces, including a bronze figure called 'The Merciful Father' from 1985 and the altar cross 'Christ of Resurrection' from 1937.

The church building houses a Heintz organ installed in 1996, containing 33 registers across three manuals for musical performances and services.

A boulder with a bronze plaque, placed in 1962, marks the location of the original Markus Chapel that served the community until 1803.
