Mönchskirche, Gothic church in Bautzen, Germany.
The Mönchskirche exhibits early Gothic architecture with pointed arches, high windows, and a brick construction that extends from northern Germany to the mountains.
Founded in 1240 by local nobles for Franciscan monks, the church experienced multiple fires, including devastating ones in 1401, 1441, and 1598.
The church remains serve as a testament to medieval religious architecture and stand as a protected cultural heritage monument in the old town of Bautzen.
Located at Große Brüdergasse 7, visitors can explore the preserved ruins and examine the architectural features of this early Gothic structure.
In 1877, a water reservoir with a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters was constructed in the western section of the church ruins.
