Anne’s Church, Baroque church in Dresden, Germany

Anne's Church is a baroque church in Dresden built on a rectangular plan with twelve sandstone pillars integrated into the walls. The interior holds religious artworks in keeping with the Protestant building tradition of Saxony.

The church was founded in 1578 as Dresden's first Protestant place of worship following the Reformation. It was heavily damaged during the Seven Years' War and rebuilt between 1764 and 1769.

The church is named after Anne of Saxony ("Mother Anna", 1532–1585), wife of Elector Augustus, who funded the 1578 building; a restored monument to her stands at the north exit. Services are held in the church, and its organ, rebuilt by Julius Jahn & Sohn and played at the 1909 reopening, is used for concerts.

The church is easy to reach on foot from central Dresden and worth checking opening times before your visit. Organ concerts are held regularly and offer a good reason to plan your visit around a specific date.

The church is named after Anna of Saxony, known as "Mother Anna", who died in 1585; a monument to her was restored and re-erected at the north exit in 2011. During the February 1945 bombing raids, about 1,000 people sheltered inside the church and survived, although the roof truss burned out.
