Wenceslaikirche Wurzen, Lutheran church in Wurzen, Germany
The Wenceslaikirche exhibits late Gothic architecture with a polygonal choir, prominent west tower, and baroque elements throughout its three-nave hall structure.
Following complete destruction by fire in 1499, the church underwent reconstruction in Gothic style, completed in 1513 under Bishop Johann VI von Saalhausen's direction.
The church holds regular Protestant services as part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony, maintaining religious traditions since its conversion in 1539.
From Easter Sunday 2024, visitors can climb the 54-meter tower every Sunday until October 31st for views across Wurzen and the surrounding region.
The church houses two organs: a preserved 1902 Jehmlich instrument and a 1999 Eule organ designed according to 18th-century French specifications.
