St Michael's Church is the main Protestant Church in Hamburg and is among the most important structures of the Northern part of Germany. A magnificent Church, designed in the late Baroque style, was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. It is located in the southern district of New town, and its tower can be seen even with ships that travel to the port.

The history of this Church began the sixteenth century, when William V the Pious gave the go-ahead for its construction. Costs one of the main strongholds of the counter-Reformation were so great that the state almost went into bankruptcy. The facade of the Villa St. Michael's Church was decorated with the figure of Christ, which somewhat resembled the traditional town hall of the middle ages. The entrance had a bronze figure of the Archangel, created in the late sixteenth century.

After the erection of the building were many tests, one of which was significant destruction of one of the towers. In 1648 the next stage of construction took Peter Maryrdom and Christoph Corvinus. Unfortunately, in 1750, the bell tower of the Church collapsed as a result of a strong fire resulting from a lightning strike. Despite this, in the following year commenced the erection of the new building, but the project, proposed by Johann Leonard Preuil and Ernest George Tanninim. In 1786, before the residents saw a new Church, the decoration of which was very elegant but at the same time striking the roof.

It housed the Royal crypt, the burial place for William V, elector Maximilian, as well as Ludwig II and numerous saints whose names to install because of the military destruction of the past is impossible.

Currently, the Church of St. Michael, made in the Baroque style, is one of the largest churches of Hamburg, attracting large numbers not only of Christian pilgrims and tourists.

Original 132-meter tower of the Church of brick and iron contains the largest tower clock in Germany. Just above the clock there is a viewing platform overlooking the magnificent view of the city, the river Elbe and the Alster lake.
