St. Augustine's Church, Parish church and architectural heritage monument in Coburg, Germany.
St. Augustine's Church is a Gothic Revival parish church in Coburg built between 1856 and 1860, with a large crypt beneath its main structure. The building displays characteristic elements of this style, including pointed arches, high windows, and stonework typical of the period.
The church was built after 300 years without Catholic worship in Coburg, following Prince August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha's initiative to begin construction in 1851. This project marked a turning point for the city's Catholic community.
Archbishop Michael Deinlein inaugurated the church on August 28, 1860, specifically choosing Saint Augustine of Hippo's feast day for the ceremony.
Visitors should know that the church houses a crypt with burial sites visible during a tour. Access is straightforward, though it is wise to check specific opening hours beforehand.
The burial sites in the crypt belong to the Catholic branch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, revealing a special dynastic connection. These tombs give the place significance beyond its religious purpose.
