It set new standards in 12th- and 13th-century architecture: St. Mary’s Church. Both inside and out, the church is a true feast for the eyes and a great place to visit in Lippstadt.
St. Mary’s Church is one of the most impressive buildings in Lippstadt. Construction of the church began shortly after the city’s founding in 1185. The city’s founder, Bernhard II, personally consecrated St. Mary’s Church in 1222 in his capacity as Bishop of Selonien.
After its completion, the church in Lippstadt’s Altstadt influenced the architectural style of Romanesque churches far beyond the region of Westfalen. Today, St. Mary’s Church amazes many visitors as a tourist attraction with its size and variety of architectural styles. The Gothic sacrament tower and the Baroque altar, in particular, make a visit to this church well worth your while.
