Frauenkirche, Gothic church in Meissen, Germany.

The Frauenkirche stands with its tall spire and stone walls, featuring large windows that illuminate the interior space with natural light.

Construction of the Frauenkirche began in 1455, marking a period of religious expansion and architectural advancement in medieval Saxony.

The church contains a collection of porcelain organ pipes manufactured by the State Porcelain Manufacture, reflecting the region's traditional craftsmanship.

Visitors can climb 193 steps to reach the tower's observation platform, which provides views of Meissen's old town and the Elbe Valley.

The bell tower houses both traditional steel bells and a carillon made entirely of porcelain, creating distinct musical tones during performances.
