Michaelskirche

Built in the 11th century and faithfully rebuilt after World War II, this is the finest example of Ottonian Romanesque architecture anywhere. Its painted wooden ceiling dates from 1230.

South Exterior
South exterior of the nave and aisle, with the two entrances. Because of the unusual lateral entrance to the church, the south aisle serves as a narthex. Image credit: Holly Hayes
