Surprisingly large and very eye-catching church due to the blue color.

Market Church of the Holy Spirit
The market church of the Holy Spirit in Clausthal was built in the middle of the Thirty Years' War from oak and spruce and the roof was covered with lead. In 1642 it was consecrated at Pentecost. The Market Church is the second largest preserved wooden church in Europe after Kerimäki Church. A very extensive renovation was completed in 2011.

It is the largest wooden church in Germany and, thanks to its architecture and furnishings, is one of the most important architectural monuments of the North German Baroque. Opened in 1639, it has about 1200 seats today, is 57 m long and 26 m wide. Before it was renovated, when I got married there, it didn't shine in its current blue, but was slate-white

An imposing church. Germany's largest wooden church. 57m long and 36m wide, made only of spruce and oak. Absolutely impressive. The church is said to have had more than 2,200 seats in the past and still seats 1,500 today. It was built in 1642 after its predecessor fell victim to a fire. 1698 was grown to its present size. The blue paint was chosen because blue was considered the color of the Holy Spirit.
