Directions
Stadtkirche St. Dionys has roots in the eighth century, while much of the present church dates from the thirteenth century and is predominantly Gothic. Its most distinctive exterior feature is the pair of unequal towers, linked by a bridge added to stabilize the leaning southern tower. Inside, rib vaulting and a relatively restrained interior draw attention to the church’s architecture and organ. Standing on the Marktplatz, St. Dionys is a defining feature of Esslingen am Neckar’s historic center: its towers rise above the old-town streets and make the church easy to recognize from around town. The building brings together traces of the city’s early religious history and the medieval architecture that still shapes its character.
