St. Michael: a tranquil place between Jesuit architecture and Byzantine tradition


St. Michael's Church is one of the historic buildings in Aachen's old town. Built in 1628 as a Jesuit church, it shaped the religious life of the neighbourhood for centuries. Its robust, clear architecture is reminiscent of the order's teaching and preaching tradition. Today, the building serves as the spiritual home of the Greek Orthodox community of Agios Dimitrios. The combination of Western architecture and Orthodox iconography gives the interior a special atmosphere. Visitors experience a place where two worlds of faith come together in harmonious form. The tranquil space is ideal for taking a break from everyday life and feeling the diverse religious history of Aachen.
