Hildesheim: Michaeliskirche - a photo on Flickriver

            The foundations of the Michaeliskirche (St. Michael's Church) were laid in 1010 and constructed in an early Romanesque style. The church was consecrated by Bishop Bernward in 1022. The church has a double cruciform architectural plan with two choirs, east and west. It also has double tripartite transepts at either end of the nave, and six towers. The west transept is in view here.

Two large towers are located over both of the crossings, and four other tall and narrow ones are attached to the small sides of the two transepts. The east choir features three apses, and the west has a large single apse, a chapel that rises above the main nave. The crypt with the grave of Bishop Bernward is located underneath the west choir.

Some modifications were made in the middle of the 12th century, such as the choir of angel screens, stucco figures, and the replacement of older capitals. The most stunning feature is the wood panel ceiling that was created around 1230. It shows the genealogical tree of Jesus (Jessebaum).
