St. Michael und St. Gertraud Neustadt am Main

St. Michael und St. Gertraud Neustadt am Main is a Catholic church built as a three-nave basilica topped with two towers, with a north tower from the 11th century standing separately from the main structure. The building displays Neo-Romanesque style with carefully designed interior furnishings and serves as a landmark in the town center.

The church was rebuilt after lightning destroyed its predecessor in 1857 and was consecrated in December 1879 in Neo-Romanesque style. The north tower, however, dates from an earlier period and survived the disaster, making it a direct link to the site's medieval origins.

Inside you can see religious artworks including a Madonna created in the Riemenschneider workshop alongside figures of saints, showing the artistic wealth this place holds. The decoration reflects how the community has maintained its faith and connection to local art traditions over time.

The church belongs to a parish community that manages several other churches across the region, making it part of a larger network. Visitors can easily reach it on foot in the town center and find a quiet place to spend time.

Above the chapter house sits a lapidarium displaying Carolingian and Romanesque architectural pieces alongside sacred vessels from the former monastery. This hidden collection preserves archaeological treasures that document the early periods of this spiritual site.
