Bartholomäuskirche
The Bartholomäuskirche in Markgröningen, the former imperial and Württemberg official town of Grüningen, is a Gothic church building from the 13th to 15th centuries, built in several construction phases. Dedicated to St. Bartholomew the Apostle and now a Protestant church, it has two steeples with different spires. It replaced a Romanesque basilica on a raised ramp above the early medieval village center to the southeast and a manor to the south.
