Anne’s Church

Anne's Church is a Baroque church in Dresden featuring twelve integrated sandstone pillars and religious artworks that reflect Protestant building traditions of Saxony. The rectangular structure showcases careful attention to interior design with classical proportions and decorative elements.

The church was built in 1578 as Dresden's first Protestant place of worship after the Reformation. Following destruction during the Seven Years' War, it was comprehensively rebuilt between 1764 and 1769.

The church is named after a Saxon electoral princess and serves today as a place for worship and musical performances. Visitors experience here a center of religious and cultural life that connects the local community.

Visitors can enter during regular opening hours and take advantage of guided tours. Regular organ concerts on the restored Johannes Jahn organ from 1909 offer additional experiences for music enthusiasts.

Four cemeteries developed around the church, with two remaining in use as burial grounds to this day. These historic burial sites tell stories of generations who lived in this community.
