Saint Elisabeth Church, Heritage monument church building in Hildesheim, Germany.
Saint Elisabeth Church presents a three-aisled basilica constructed from local limestone, featuring twin towers and traditional Romanesque architectural elements that dominate the city skyline.
Construction of Saint Elisabeth Church began in 1905 according to plans by architect Richard Herzig and was completed in May 1907 to serve the expanding Catholic community in Hildesheim's eastern district.
The church serves as a focal point for annual feast day celebrations honoring Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia, patron saint of charity, through special liturgical services and community gatherings.
Saint Elisabeth Church is located at the corner of Moltkestraße and Goethestraße in the Oststadt area, accessible via public transportation with regular Mass schedules on Sundays and major Christian holidays.
The church's design philosophy emphasized preserving a straightforward regional character while creating two separate medium-sized churches instead of one large combined structure for the eastern and northern districts.
