St. Michaelis Church - Great Attractions (Hamburg, Germany)

  • 13 years ago
Take a tour of St. Michaelis Church in Hamburg, Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Rising high above the rooftops of Hamburg, Germany is the steeple of the Saint Michaelis Church.

This dark and majestic tower is over 430 feet tall, and is one of the guiding landmarks for ships coming into the port.

The gleaming, dusky color of the steeple comes from a copper coating that covers its whole length.

The church has been on this location since 1669, and the current church building dates back to 1786.

Since then, it has been reconstructed several times: once after a fire and once in the aftermath of World War Two.

Visitors are welcome to tour the Saint Michaelis Church and enjoy the breath-taking view from the top of its spire.
