Spitalkirche, Baroque church in Bayreuth, Germany

The Spitalkirche stands at the lower marketplace on Maximilianstrasse with a quadrangular layout and prominent pulpit altar in the center.

The church foundations date back to the 12th century, with subsequent reconstructions in 1439 as a Gothic structure and between 1748-1750 in Baroque style.

Johann Benjamin Müller painted the ceiling fresco depicting Prophet Isaiah's vision, while Johann Gabriel Räntz created the decorative Rococo organ facade.

The Spitalkirche opens Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 17:00, Saturday from 9:00 to 13:00, and Sunday from 11:00 to 13:00.

The church preserves three bells that returned undamaged from Hamburg bell storage after World War II.
