Kollegiatstift Haug Abbey

The origins of the Collegiate Church of Haug date back to 995. An early community, the “Lords of the Mountain,” was mentioned around the year 1000, and the collegiate church was consecrated by Bishop Heinrich I of Würzburg. Originally, the complex was located north of the city wall. In 1657, the collegiate church was demolished to make way for the Baroque city fortifications and rebuilt at its current location. The construction of the new collegiate church took place between 1670 and 1691 under the direction of master builder Antonio Petrini. As part of the secularization in 1803, the Collegiate Church of Haug was dissolved, and the collegiate church became a parish church.

The former Collegiate Church of Haug is situated in the city of Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany, at an elevation of approximately 188 meters above sea level. It is located in the Haug district, also known as the Hauger quarter.

The former Collegiate Church of St. John in Haug now serves as a parish church. Its towers reach a height of 75 meters, making them the second tallest church towers in Würzburg. The church is characterized by its impressive crossing dome, which rises to 60 meters. After being damaged during World War II, the church was rebuilt, with the cool proportions and bright spaciousness of Petrini's architecture being particularly striking. Inside, a monumental oil painting of the Crucifixion of Jesus by Jacopo Tintoretto is displayed. The former chapter house, also designed by Petrini, now houses the Matthias-Ehrenfried-Haus, a church youth and educational institution.
