In 2005 the church was 1000 years old. Reason enough to honor this building. Located on the Romanesque Street, the Liebfrauenkriche zu Halberstadt is the only four-tower basilica from the Romanesque period.

A very pretty church! It is one of the three main churches in Halberstadt. It is the only remaining basilica from the Romanesque period. It has four towers.

Construction of today's church began in 1145 under Bishop Rudolf. The Romanesque basilica is famous for its choir screens (around 1200).

The Protestant Liebfrauenkirche in Halberstadt is one of the most important church buildings on the Romanesque Road. The late Romanesque church is located at the western end of the Halberstadt cathedral square.
The Liebfrauenkirche was built in the second half of the 12th century on the foundations of a predecessor building about 150 years older. It is today the only four-towered Romanesque pillar basilica in central Germany.
The Liebfrauenkirche at the northwestern tower and the eastern part of the building were severely damaged by bombing on April 8, 1945. However, the affected parts of the building could be faithfully restored in the post-war years.
A special feature of this church building is the permanent architecture exhibition in the cloister directly adjoining the building. Also worth seeing are the late Romanesque choir gates with their almost life-sized stucco figures depicting the 12 apostles, Mary and Christ. Other attractions in the Church of Our Lady are the Triumph Cross and the valuable cultural murals in Kreuzgratgewölbe.
Visits to this impressive Romanesque church are possible as part of a guided tour.

Even from afar, impressive sacred buildings characterize the silhouette of the former bishop's town on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains.
The focal point of the historic center is the extensive cathedral square with its impressive ensemble of magnificent cathedrals of St. Stephen and St. Sixtus and the Romanesque Church of Our Lady. The cathedral, built according to the French model, is considered one of the finest Gothic cathedrals in Germany. With more than 600 treasures from several centuries, the cathedral treasury is one of the most exquisite church treasures in the world.
At the foot of the cathedral, the historic old town is waiting to be discovered. Winding alleys, cobblestones and Butzenglas: Halberstadt enchants with the charm of its half-timbered architecture. The oldest houses date from the 16th century. Traces of the once large Jewish community in Halberstadt, one of the largest in all of Central Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, are still revealed to the attentive observer below the former bishop's palace.
Halberstadt surprises with its diverse cultural landscape, numerous museums and its varied calendar of events. In the Gleimhaus, one of the oldest literature museums in Germany, the Age of Enlightenment comes alive again through the impressive collection of books, letters and portraits of its namesake, Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim. The municipal museum provides deep insights into the eventful history of the cathedral city and the Heineanum ornithological museum is certainly an experience for nature lovers. The screw museum presents the bourgeois living culture around 1900 and the Berend Lehmann Museum preserves the memory of the centuries-old tradition of the former Jewish community in Halberstadt.
Lovers of drama, ballet, opera and symphony concerts will get their money's worth in the North Harz City Theater. A special musical feature is probably the most unusual art project in organ history: the tones of the John Cage organ art project "ORGAN²/ASLSP" have been heard in the Buchardi Church since the turn of the millennium, which is to be played for a total of 639 years.

For 3 euros you can even climb the tower. In addition, you get to see the almost life-size choir screens...

The Liebfrauenkirche zu Halberstadt is one of the three (exclusively Protestant) main churches in Halberstadt, along with the cathedral and the Martinikirche.
Alongside examples such as Merseburg and Naumburg, it is one of the few surviving four-tower basilicas from the Romanesque period in central and northern Germany and one of the sights of the Romanesque Road.
In 2005 its 1000th anniversary was celebrated.
The externally castle-like Liebfrauenkirche closes the cathedral square together with the Petershof in the west.
Opposite to the east is the cathedral.
In addition, the cathedral square is framed by an ensemble of buildings from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism and Modernism.
Lying to the north and west with high walls above the lower town and separated from the upper town by walls and gates to the south and east, the cathedral square with the cathedral, Liebfrauenkirche and other buildings formed the former cathedral castle of the bishops of Halberstadt.

Up the Peter's Staircase it is just a few steps to the Bishop's Palace, which is now the seat of municipal institutions.

Right next to it we reach the cloister of the Church of Our Lady.

There is a half-timbered exhibition with many building fragments.

The Romanesque church is the only four-towered pillar basilica in Central Germany.

The interior of the nave is very simple.

Parts of the building date back to 1005, built under Bishop Arnulf.

For a small fee we can climb the tower.

The view of the Cathedral of St. Stephen and St. Sixtus and the Church of St. Martini is impressive.

Back down we marvel at the choir screens, created around 1200, and the Barbara Chapel.

In the exhibition that follows we learn that Charlemagne elevated Halberstadt to a bishop's seat in 804.

The Church of Our Lady was built in 1146. It is a four-towered Romanesque pillar basilica, unique in central and northern Germany.
