St.Mary's church Herzberg, Gothic church in Herzberg (Elster), Germany.

Marienkirche Herzberg is a brick building with three naves and a tower rising about 64 meters high. The interior is marked by Gothic vaults and preserves artworks spanning several centuries.

Built around 1350 on the foundations of an earlier brick church, St. Mary's was dedicated to St. Nicholas until the 15th century, when it received its Marian patronage. The west tower burned and collapsed in 1483 and was rebuilt in 1562, taking its present form in the 17th and 18th centuries. A thorough restoration followed from 1862 to 1868, adding the neo-Gothic entrance porches and the sandstone window tracery designed after drawings by Friedrich August Stüler and Baurat Ritter.

The church keeps full-length portraits of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon from the late 16th century. Luther took part in the school and church visitations in Herzberg in 1522 and 1533, and the parish has held the two paintings ever since.

The church stands on the Marktplatz. The ring-shaped viewing platform sits at 36.3 metres, reached via the tower; the golden sphere tops out at 59.4 metres and the cross at 64.27 metres. The four bells, cast in the 14th and 15th centuries, sound the notes es1, ges1, a1 and f2.

The tower is topped by a golden heart at 64.27 metres, above a golden sphere (tower knob) at 59.4 metres; the ring-shaped viewing platform sits at 36.3 metres. The four bells, cast in the 14th and 15th centuries with the notes es¹–ges¹–a¹–f², form one of the most valuable peals in eastern Germany.
