St Michael on Michaelisplatz, constructed between 1010 and 1033, is an excellent example of Early Romanesque or Ottonian architecture. The basilica has a triple nave, double chancels, and alternates the use of columns and pillars. It was severely damaged during World War II but restored soon after to its original condition. In addition to the marvelous architecture itself, note the flat, painted ceiling. It is the 12th-century original and uses 90 figures to illustrate the Family Tree of Jesus Christ. The Angel Screen is late 12th century and the cloisters date from 1250. The church was added to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list in 1985.
Opening hours are daily from April to October, 8 am to 6 pm, and from November to March, 9 am to 4 pm. On Sunday it is only open from noon.
