St Michaelis

From humble origins, Hamburg’s church developed, from 1647 onwards, into the grand edifice that today forms such a prominent city centre landmark. With its unmistakable, 132m-high (433ft) baroque tower stunningly clad in beaten copper, ‘Michel’ continues to form an unmistakable part of the city skyline, even though it has undergone major reconstruction three times in its history, most recently after WWII.
