Kirchenruine Wachau, Church ruin in Wachau, Markkleeberg, Germany.
The heritage monument exhibits standing outer walls with double-stepped buttresses, while the nave remains open to the sky with stone-paved flooring.
Constantin Lipsius designed this neo-gothic church in 1860, which suffered extensive damage from British air mines in 1943 and American incendiary bombs in 1945.
The structure maintains its role as a religious site, hosting summer services, weddings, baptisms, and concerts within its preserved walls.
Located at coordinates 51°16'31"N, 12°25'49"E, the church ruin stands on Kirchplatz in Markkleeberg, with restricted access for wheelchair users.
A lightning strike in 1974 led to the partial demolition of the tower, causing its debris to collapse the nave's vault, transforming the building into ruins.
