The Michaelskirche in Fulda, constructed from 820 to 822, stands as a remarkable example of Carolingian architecture. Initially serving as a mortuary chapel for the Fulda Monastery, it is among Germany's most significant medieval sacred buildings. Its architectural design was long considered a replica of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a claim debated by scholars.
