The Church of St. Michael (German: Michaeliskirche) is an early-Romanesque church in Hildesheim, Germany. It has been on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list (along with the nearby Hildesheim Cathedral) since 1985 due to its Romanesque architecture and art that can be found within, such as the Tree of Jesse and the now relocated Bernward doors. Now, St. Michael a shared church due to the Protestant reformation, with the main area of the church being Lutheran and the crypt being Roman Catholic.
