Because of its long period of construction, the church combines romanesque, gothic and baroque architecture.
The southern tower's steep pinnacle was made of wood and was destroyed by a fire in 1561.
Most of the damage was repairable, but the precious stained glass windows and the organ were lost and had to be replaced by modern equipment.
Today, the church is the main tourist attraction inside the historical city center of Wetzlar.
