Church of Our Lady, Gothic church in Meissen, Germany.

The Frauenkirche is a late Gothic hall church of plastered stone, its choir built of sandstone ashlar. A massive west tower with early Gothic lower storeys carries a late Gothic square top, an octagonal upper stage of 1547 and a lantern-crowned hood. Inside, slender octagonal piers carry parallel rib vaults modelled on Prague's St Vitus Cathedral, and the choir closes with a star vault.

First documented in 1205 as the Chapel of St Mary at the market, the church was subordinate to the Augustinian canons of St Afra and gained baptismal rights in 1457. After destructive town fires, a new late Gothic hall church was built between about 1450 and 1520. Lightning destroyed the spire in 1547; the tower then received its octagonal top and, in 1549, a gilded knob with weather vane.

The chapel south of the tower, added around 1540, holds a stained-glass window painted by a Meissen porcelain painter around 1845. The church also keeps a painted winged altarpiece of about 1480, brought here from the St. Nicholas Church, showing the Lamentation of Christ.

The church stands on rising ground in the old town, with buttresses along the choir and a stone offering box in front of the portal. The massive west tower has an octagonal upper storey with a surrounding gallery, but no visitor climb or observation platform is documented. The interior is entered at street level; the south chapel beside the tower, added around 1540, holds a glass painting by a Meissen porcelain painter from about 1845.

The south chapel, added around 1540, holds a stained-glass window painted by a Meissen porcelain painter around 1845. The organ, built by Jehmlich of Dresden in 1929/1930, has 56 stops and 3,798 pipes; it was restored in 2017–2021 and reinaugurated in May 2021.
