The neo-Gothic Marktkirche in Wiesbaden is the Protestant main church of the Hessian state capital. It was built in the years 1853 to 1862 by Carl Boos as Nassauer Landesdom on Schlossplatz and was at that time the largest brick building of the Duchy of Nassau.
The market church has a carillon, which is housed in about 65 m height in the main tower. It consists of 49 bronze bells, the largest of which weighs 2.2 tons, the smallest 13 kg.

Beautiful carillon with 49 bells! The neo-Gothic style church from the middle of the 19th century (built from 1853 to 1862) looks imposing from the outside. Inside, I remember the fine workmanship of the stucco. In the chancel there are 5 large figures, with Christ in the middle, particularly worth seeing today because the harvest was built this year (on the occasion of the harvest festival).

The Evangelical Market Church was built between 1853 and 1862 under the direction of Nassau's Chief Building Inspector Carl Boos as a neo-Gothic, three-aisled basilica without an upper hall.
The quarry stone masonry is clad in brick, and the diverse architectural sculptures are made of fired claystone. The main tower is almost 89 meters high and is the tallest building in Wiesbaden. The total external length of the church is approximately 60 meters.
The Market Church still largely retains its original appearance today.wiesbaden.de/leben-in-wiesbaden/kirchen-religionen/content/marktkirche.php
