St. Vitus Church in the north of Artern's old town presents itself as one of the oldest preserved medieval buildings in the city. The building in its current appearance dates from the middle of the 13th century and thus falls into the late Romanesque or early Gothic period. It was named after Saint Vitus (St. Vitus or St. Veit), the patron saint against swamp fever. The dreaded swamp fever and the devastating floods caused by the "evil strut" are long a thing of the past. From 1990, the St. Vitus Church was extensively restored as a landmark of the city of Artern. During the construction work inside the church, the remains of 3 previous buildings came to light, which were archaeologically documented. The restoration of the "Vituskirche" was completed in August 1999. The building is now used for exhibitions, concerts and civil marriages.
