History and Significance of Marktkirche Unser Lieben Frauen

This church stands as a testament to Halle's rich history. Established between 1529 and 1554, it is the most recent medieval church in the city.

It replaced two older churches, integrating their towers. This exceptional late-Gothic structure features four distinctive towers that contribute to the city’s nickname, "City of the Five Towers." Its historical importance is underlined by connections to Martin Luther, who preached here, and notable figures such as Handel and Bach.
