St Bartholomew's Church

The parish church St. Bartholomew's Church is the town church of Themar in Thuringia. It is dedicated to St. Bartholomew. It belongs to the most richly equipped churches of the upper valley of the Werra. It is one of the few buildings of the small town, first mentioned in 796, which outlasted all storms of the time. The Oberkirche at the upper gate and the Unterkirche at the Werra were the first places of worship in the place. There still exist some remainders of the Romanesque Unterkirche in the vestry and in both lower floors of the church tower.
