Diese kleine Kirche hat schöne Fenster von dem Künstler Prof Markus Lüpertz

Pretty church kind of in a off-the -beaten path in Bamburg. Nice coloring and kind of older more modest church building. It was not open when I walked by, but the outside arch was worth seeing if you wandering that direction

I enjoyed making a brief visit to St. Elisabeth, a small Roman Catholic chapel with a history that dates back to the first half of the 14th-century. What you see today is a rebuild from the late 19th-century and a fairly basic Neo-Gothic features. What I found most interesting about my visit were the eight contemporary stained glass windows by artist Markus Lüpertz (2021) that are fitted within the church. They represent scenes from the life of St. Elisabeth based on seven themes of mercy. Worth a brief stop if you enjoy art viewing in addition to visiting old churches.
