St. Martin's Church (also St. Martin) is the largest church in Kassel and the episcopal seat of the Evangelical Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck. A wide range of concerts make it a centre for church music.

The spiritual centre of the old Kassel district, which was founded in 1330 by Landgrave Heinrich II of Hesse and given the name Freiheit, was the church dedicated to St. Martin. It was later also called the "great church of Kassel". It was not to be a parish church in the ordinary sense, but the city's cathedral. The Gothic church was consecrated in 1462 and has been Protestant since 1524. It is the Episcopal Church of the Protestant Regional Church of Kurhessen and Waldeck and the twin towers one of the city's landmarks.
