Holy Ghost Church (Schweinfurt)

Germany / Bayern / Schweinfurt / Anton-Niedermeier-Platz, 1
 listed building / architectural heritage, Roman Catholic church
A hospital church associated with the Holy Ghost Hospital was built in the middle of the 15th century, and almost completely destroyed in 1554 (Second City Ruination).A new church was erected in gothic architectural style by the end of the 16th century. After the demolition of the old Holy Ghost Church, today’s building preserved in New Romanesque style was constructed from 1897 to 1902. Worth seeing: The main portal with the figure of King David and the depiction of the first Pentecost feast, the two side portals (the prophet Zachary and the baptism of Christ as well as the promulgation scenes) and the tower with a statue of Mary that is several metres high. Four altars are located in the interior of the church. www.schweinfurt.de/en/life/sights/index.html
