Kamenz

The central market square of Kamenz features a red town hall, multiple church spires, and traditional shops surrounding a rectangular gathering space.

Founded in 1225 along the Via Regia trade route, Kamenz developed into a commercial center with religious art collections in St. Anne's monastery church.

The Elementarium Museum presents extensive collections of Western Lusatia, including zoology, geology, botany, archaeology exhibits, and an earthquake simulation experience.

Three observation towers across Kamenz provide access points for visitors to view the surrounding landscape and architectural features of the town.

In 1859, local butcher Carl Heinrich Mierisch created a special sausage variety that became an essential part of Kamenz culinary traditions.
