Stadtkirche Unserer Lieben Frauen auf dem Berge, Lutheran church in Penig, Saxony, Germany

Stadtkirche Unserer Lieben Frauen auf dem Berge is a late Gothic hall church with three naves and six bays, ending in a seven-sided polygon to the east. Its square tower stands at the northwest corner. Inside, a coffered ceiling painted in 1688 shows 68 biblical scenes, and the wooden organ loft holds an 1890–1893 organ by Richard Kreutzbach with 40 registers.

The church was first a filial of St. Aegidien in Penig and from 1313 belonged to the patronage of the Benedictine monastery of Chemnitz. The late Gothic new building began in 1476 with the tall square tower at the northwest corner; the rubble-stone nave was finished externally in 1499, but the interior was left without piers and vaults. Consecration followed only in 1515. The Chapel of Glory on the north side, a burial place of Burgrave Albrecht von Leisnig, survives from 1380.

The painted ceiling from 1688 shows 68 biblical scenes and represents religious art from that period that visitors can still see today. These artworks tell stories from both the Old and New Testament and shape the interior of this house of worship.

Access to the church building is normally possible during visiting hours, which may vary depending on services and events. It is advisable to check in advance whether special services or events are taking place that could affect your visit.

The north chapel, called Kapelle zur Herrlichkeit, survives from the previous building: it was built in 1380 as the burial place of Burgrave Albrecht von Leisnig, whose gravestone with coat of arms and inscription band stands in the porch. The chapel ends in a five-eighth close and its small north porch has a star vault.
