    Holy Cross Church image
    5pm Saturday is the weekly musical spectacular vespers at the Kreuzkirche near Altmarkt in historic Dresden. While everyone knows the Vienna Boys Choir, the Kreuzchor boys choir is just as wonderful. For the cost of a 2 Euro program, you get an hour long music fest, with a brief homily and prayer. But get there early to get a seat, even though this is the largest church in Saxony. See more..

    I'd been to Görlitz so many times before today's return and somehow never had I seen Peterskirche. I'm glad I finally stumbled upon it, it's quite a lovely building. I wouldn't consider it a must-see, but the area surrounding it sure is! The church is located on a hilly street, so you'll be able to witness some beautiful sights from up there. See more..

    The original main building and church (Paulinerkirche) of Leipzig University was demolished in 1968. What a pity! The new buildings of the university and church are located at the place of the former church - named "Paulinum" . Paulimum was designed by architect Erick van Egeraat. It is a beautiful building, looks kind of the exterior of ING Headquarter in Budapest (which is also designed by van Egeraat). See more..

    - Interesting cathedral
    Thursday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites • Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
    Der Dom St. Petri zu Bautzen image
    This is a very interesting church as it's for both Catholics and Protestants. It is one of the biggest of this kind in Germany. The cathedral as it stands now was constructed between 1456 and 1463. In 1523, Lutherans started preaching in the church. Since 1530, both Catholics and Lutherans have shared the cathedral. Its most distinctive feature is the strongly protruding angulation, which is probably because the church was erected on the foundations of another church which was built around 1000. See more..

    - Striking ruins
    Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Cemeteries • Churches & Cathedrals
    St.-Nikolai Church image
    The chapel was financed by donations when first built. It was dedicated to St. Nicholas and St. Barbara . Before the construction of the chapel could be finished, it burned down in 1441. Due to the generosity of the citizens of the city, the chapel was largely rebuilt by 1444 on a much larger scale. In the course of the siege of the city in 1620 the Nikolaikirche was considerably destroyed and devastated. Only after the city fire on May 2, 1634 did the cathedral monastery plan to rebuild the church. Before the reconstruction of the church could begin, the timber was used by the Swedes to build palisades during their siege of the city in 1639 . After this siege, the intention was to rebuild the church again, but for financial reasons the cathedral monastery decided to rebuild the Church of Our Lady, which had burned down in 1634, instead. As a result, the Nikolaikirche has remained in ruins to this day. We loved looking around and seeing the old grave. It's such a beautiful place. See more..

The early baroque portal on the south side was built around 1670. The vestibule with the rich cell vault comes from the late Gothic period. The Schleinitzkapelle is a funeral chapel. Here are tombstones from the Gothic era and epitaphs from the Renaissance. See more..

    I found the kloster after walking around the small narrow streets of Pirna. The schloss overlooks the town with everything all converging on the old town square. The old houses are painted in colourful colours giving some life to the old sleepy town. The kloster was visited at the end of my visit before cycling back to Dresden. The journey took 70 minutes and is highly recommended for a warm sunny day. See more..

    Evangelical Lutheran Martin Luther Church image
    Евангелистская лютеранская церковь Лютера Мартина видна в Обервизентале из многих точек города. Поэтому её трудно не найти и не посетить. Церковь была построена в неоготическом стиле в 1866 году. До этого, на этом месте стояла старая церковь, сгоревшая в пожаре 5-го августа 1862 года. Кстати, в том пожаре были спасены две люстры. И сейчас их можно видеть в обновлённом храме. В церкви есть орган, установленный здесь в 1866 году и имеющий 26 регистров и 1578 труб. В 2013 году основная башня церкви была отремонтирована (ранее состояние у неё было весьма плачевным) и полностью восстановлена в своём первоначальном состоянии. При входе в храм, справа расположен большой макет яслей, который заполняется фигурами на рождество. Туристов и любопытствующих встречает замечательная старушка божий одуванчик, готовая рассказать вам и историю храма и информацию о том, кто похоронен на прилегающем к церкви кладбище. See more..

    Take the South exit from Gorlitz railway station, turn left then up Jakobstraße where this imposing red brick cathedral rises magnificently. When we visited we were the only visitors. The lighting through the windows gives an ethereal ambiance. We were lucky to hear the organ being played - perhaps a practice session as several pieces were played and not all finished. However it gave us time to appreciate the acoustics. See more..
