Herzogin-Agnes-Gedächtniskirche, Romanesque Revival church in Altenburg, Germany
The Herzogin Agnes Memorial Church features a 56-meter tower, granite base structure, and limestone cladding with a 10-meter-high roof spire.
Duke Ernst I commissioned the church in 1903 to commemorate his wife Duchess Agnes, who died in 1897, with the consecration held on April 28, 1906.
The main altar made of red sandstone displays the resurrection of Jesus in relief, while the windows contain patterns of immortal flowers and forget-me-nots.
The church contains 1200 playable organ pipes across 20 stops, with the ducal chapel positioned next to the altar featuring three special windows.
The crypt beneath the altar houses the remains of Duke Ernst I, Duchess Agnes, and their four-week-old son Georg from 1856.
