Kreuzkirche, Lutheran church at Altmarkt Square, Dresden, Germany
The Kreuzkirche stands 94 meters tall with a large central nave and exhibits traditional baroque architectural elements throughout its exterior design.
The church underwent multiple reconstructions since its foundation in 1170, with the most substantial baroque renovation completed by Johann George Schmidt in 1764.
The Kreuzkirche houses the renowned Dresdner Kreuzchor boys' choir and functions as the primary Protestant church of Dresden and seat of Saxony's Landesbischof.
Visitors can access the church tower for panoramic views of Dresden's historic district and attend regular musical performances in the main hall.
The building represents the largest church structure in Saxony and has endured five major fires throughout its existence, including the 1945 Dresden bombing.
