Superb Organ

This is another of the less famous churches In Hamburg, but this one should be on every visitors list because of the incredible pipe organ, while I unfortunately visited on a day it was not being played it was nonetheless visually very impressive. Well worth...More

A lovely church.

This is a lovely and tranquil church. While the church's exterior looks wonderful, the interior isn't as opulent as we'd thought it'd be. Having said that, the organ is quite impressive and beautiful, as is the high altar. Worth a 5-minute visit.

Baroque organ

The Schnitger organ is one of the oldest and best in Europe. There are regular weekly recitals and it is certainly worth trying to catch one.
