Marienkirche Pirna, Late Gothic hall church in Pirna, Germany
The Marienkirche features eight octagonal pillars supporting geometric patterns on the ceiling and spans 65 meters in length and 35 meters in width.
Construction of the church began in 1502 under master builder Peter Ulrich, incorporating elements from a 13th-century structure discovered during excavations in 1889.
The ceiling paintings depict biblical stories and figures, reflecting the Lutheran influence following the 1539 Reformation in Albertine Saxony.
The church offers guided tours for visitors with disabilities and includes an induction loop system for people with hearing impairments.
The tower, built between 1466 and 1479, housed a bell ringer who lived on-site until the early twentieth century.
