Marktkirche Unser Lieben Frauen

Halle’s central square has no fewer than five towers. One of these is the freestanding bell tower known as Roter Turm, but the other four rise up from the bulky late-Gothic Marktkirche. Inside is its prized possession, Luther’s original death mask of wax (ask the attendant to take you into the separate room to see it). It also has a Renaissance pulpit from which he preached.

Organ music is performed here at noon on Tuesday and Thursday, and on Saturday from May through September.
