Sacred Space with Impact
The Martinskirche is considered the largest Gothic hall church in the Upper Palatinate after the Regensburg Cathedral. Its impressive dimensions and vast interior make medieval piety as palpable as the pride of the Amberg citizenry. Those who enter here experience silence, dignity, and the special atmosphere of an important house of worship. ([tourismus.amberg.de](https://tourismus.amberg.de/stadtfuehrungen/))
History that Touches the Heart
The construction history dates back to the 15th century; the choir was built starting in 1421, followed by the nave and tower. The church has been shaped over centuries, preserving the traces of Gothic and later alterations to this day. This makes the tour a religious and historical discovery at the same time.
