Markuskirche, Gothic Revival church in Pieschen district, Dresden, Germany

The red brick Markuskirche features a 45-meter tower and includes elaborate sandstone elements throughout its vaulted nave interior design.

Construction of Markuskirche began in 1886 after the Pieschen population grew from 1,850 to 8,000 residents between 1870 and 1885.

The altar displays carved lime and oak wood decorations, depicting Jesus with disciples at the Last Supper beneath the crucifix.

The church building accommodates 900 people and stands at Markusplatz 1 in Dresden, between Bürgerstraße, Torgauer, and Osterbergstraße.

The altar placement in the western section of the church differs from traditional orientations due to urban planning considerations.
