HANSEATIC CITY LUEBECK          

St Giles Church - Where craftsmen and city accountants prayed

The triple aisle hall church built as the church of craftsmen and city accountants, dates back to the 14th and 15th century. It is the most unpretentious church in Lübeck. Originally planned as one aisle hall church in the 13th century, it was enlarged later. In World War II St. Giles Church was spared from destruction.

Noteworthy are the completely preserved baroque interior decorations, the gothic wall paintings in the choir and in the hall of the tower, the organ and the carvings in the choir made by Tönnies Evers the Younger (in 1587) built in renaissance style.

The 86 m high tower was restored in 1840 and resembles the towers of the Marienchurch.
