Dorfkirche Straßberg, Protestant church in Straßberg, Saxony, Germany.

The stone building includes three aisles with cross-ribbed vaults, supported by recessed buttresses that create spaces with stone galleries above the vaults.

Built in 1576 under Joachim von Reibold von Neuenburg, the church incorporates materials from an earlier castle that stood on the hill called die Burg.

The interior features wall murals depicting the birth and ascension of Christ, painted by Friedrich Wilhelm Franck Calensis in 1626.

The church maintains regular Protestant services and contains an organ with 18 registers across two manuals, restored multiple times since its installation in 1804.

Three historic bells survive in the tower, cast between 1673 and 1725, having escaped confiscation during both World Wars.
