GERMANY ~ Market Church - Wiesbaden ~

... Beautiful night view of the main Protestant church located right in the central market square... this impressive Neo-Gothic stands out for its red-brick façade, five towers, and 88-meter-high spire, the tallest in the city... these tall and thin steeples reaching for the sky are characteristic of this church... it is not only a place of worship but also a significant cultural landmark that reflects the city’s rich history and architectural heritage... the city is famous for its many illuminated buildings and landmarks, which create a unique and mesmerizing atmosphere after dark... from the Kurhaus and the State Theatre to the Marktkirche and the Stadtschloss, Wiesbaden's night lights are a true spectacle to see... Thanks Dustin!ツ

The Marktkirche, designed by master builder Carl Boos replaced the Mauritiuskirche, which had been destroyed by fire and whose origins date back to the early Middle Ages. Built between 1852 and 1862, it is the oldest of the four Protestant churches in the city center, which was built up until the First World War.

The organ in the Marktkirche dates back to 1863. The original case has also been preserved. After several conversions and extensions, it is now one of the most important large romantic organs in Germany. In 1986, a carillon was installed in the church's main tower, which, together with the five ringing bells, consists of 49 bronze bells.
