Wiprechtskirche Eula, Medieval religious edifice in Eula, Germany

Wiprechtskirche Eula is a church building in Eula, a district of Borna in Saxony, standing on elevated ground above the Eula River valley. The rectangular defensive tower built of pale stone rises above the surrounding fields and forests, marking the village from a distance.

A church existed in Eula by the mid-11th century, founded by the Ekkehardiner family and serving as mother parish east of the White Elster. According to the Pegau Annals, Wiprecht von Groitzsch found a wooden basilica there in 1090 and had the stone church built at his own expense. Around 1500 the nave and choir were rebuilt in late Gothic forms, and in 1858 the nave was raised under a shared roof with the choir.

The name, official since 1950, refers to Margrave Wiprecht von Groitzsch, who according to the Pegau Annals founded the present church in 1090; the original patron was probably Clement of Rome. The largest bell carries the inscription "sancte clemens ora pro nobis", and the 1441 e'' bell reads "ave maria gracia plena dvs tecvm".

The church stands above the Eula river valley, visible from far across the surrounding fields. A stone staircase with a black metal railing climbs the left facade toward the entrance. The sacristy was destroyed by arson in late January 2015, causing about 220,000 euros in damage, and further renovation followed.

The largest bell carries the inscription "lucas, marcvs, ioannes, mathevs, sancte clemens ora pro nobis", naming the four evangelists and calling on Saint Clement, the church's original patron. The 1441 e'' bell instead quotes the Ave Maria from Luke 1:28. The 1591 bell was cast by C. Gros.
