Frauenkirche Groitzsch

The rather simple-looking church has been repeatedly rebuilt over the centuries. It was probably built around 1090 together with the round chapel of the nearby Wiprechtsburg castle as the Burgwardskirche. When the outer bailey was destroyed in 1224, the church was also damaged and was then converted into a pillar basilica. Today's Frauenkirche Groitzsch is a three-aisled stepped hall. The rectangular west tower of the church dates from the previous building. 

Today, the tower consists of the Romanesque core and the square Baroque tower top with a tail dome and open lantern. The choir and nave have high, simple Gothic pointed arch windows. Inside, the entire church has a flat roof. The central nave has a hall-like width. It opens to the side aisles with two large round arches each. Carved figures from a baroque altar have been preserved and enrich the interior. The interior of the church was extensively renovated and the choir extended in 1883/84. The neo-Gothic interior, the sacristy and the stair turrets on the west side as well as the stained glass windows also date from this period.
In 2007, the interior was renovated.
