St. Michael

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.

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.

Gandersheim Abbey was founded in 852 by the Saxon Count Liudolf. An imperial abbey from the 13th century until its dissolution in 1810, it hosted a community of women from noble families who lived secular lives without having to take perpetual vows. The abbey is famous to have been the living place of Hrotsvita of Gandersheim, a poetess and first Germanic author of the Ottonian Renaissance (930 - 1030).
