The Basilica of St Cyriacus is a church in the Obermarkt of often referred to as the "Eichsfeld Cathedral" due to its dimensions and richly decorated interior.
Its construction began in the middle of the 13th century. The façade has tow iconic twin towers and a magnificent Early-Gotich portal. The interior of the church has late-Gothic featured. It is often recognised as one of the most beautiful churches in the Eichsfeld region.
St. Michael's Church was built in the eighteenth century, while Catholic worship was allowed again in Göttingen. Initially, masses were held in private homes. In 1787, the church began to be built.
St. John's Church was built in the 14th century on an old Romanesque basilica as evidenced by the 1927 discoveries. The church towers were not completed until the second half of the 14th century. The church was remodelled in classicist style at the end of the 18th century, but restored in neo-gothic style a century later (1895). The towers of St. John's have held a special place in the history of the town, having long been used by the town as a watchtower, a role which was later combined with a dormitory function for students at Göttingen University from 1921 to 2001. The apartment was free of charge on condition that visitors were admitted to the tower for two hours every Saturday.
This church with no dedication is located in Reckershausen, a village in Niedersachsen close to the Autobahn A38 and the former inner-German border, now the border between Niedersachsen and Thüringen.
