The Universitätskirche is a 13th-century two-aisled hall church that sits at the foot of the old town, near the Lahn. Architecturally it's a different creature from the soaring Elisabethkirche — quieter, more asymmetric, with an interior that feels intimate rather than grand. The unusual two-nave layout gives it a distinctive character.
The church holds regular services and concerts and is generally open to visitors during the day. It is easy to miss in the shadow of the more famous Elisabethkirche up the street, but worth a few minutes — particularly for the Romanesque elements that survive in the lower sections of the walls.
