Holy Trinity Town Church
Stadtkirche Heilig Dreifaltigkeit
Bayreuth's oldest church, a Gothic structure with twin towers joined by a small covered bridge. Beneath it lies the margraves' family crypt.
The Holy Trinity Town Church was begun in the 15th century and is Bayreuth's main church. It was rebuilt after a fire in 1605. The small gallery bridge between its two towers is a landmark of the city skyline. Inside the church is a Baroque altar. The margraves' crypt (Fürstengruft) beneath it holds the remains of several Margraves of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. The church stands in the center of the old town, a three-minute walk from the Margravial Opera House, and admission is free. Some areas may be closed during restoration work.
