Stadtkirche Brandis, Lutheran church in Brandis, Germany.
Stadtkirche Brandis is a church building in the town of Brandis in Saxony featuring a flat-roofed nave, a cross-vaulted tower hall, and a choir with intricate net vaulting patterns. The interior contains multiple altars, a baptismal font from 1886, and an artistically crafted pulpit.
The building was first documented in 1121 and underwent several transformations across the centuries. The most significant change came in 1732, when an octagonal baroque tower with a dome was added.
The church represents the Lutheran faith that shaped this region, where the pastor and cantor still lead the religious community today. The space serves not only for worship but also as a venue for concerts and cultural events in the town.
The building is accessible on weekends and during regular services, sometimes also for visits on weekdays. It is advisable to check opening times in advance, as these may vary depending on the season and events.
The church's bell system consists of three bronze bells cast in 1483, 1785, and 1927, each representing different periods of bell-making craft. The oldest bell is a rare example of medieval metalwork and is still rung today during services.
