Best Hikes to Kreuzkirche Suhl

Tips

  • The Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Cross in Suhl in Thuringia was built between 1731 and 1739.
    The Protestant hall building is designed in the Baroque style. The striking three-story church tower has a tail cap with a lantern and is crowned by a weather vane in the shape of the Polish eagle. The sovereign at the time was Elector Frederick Augustus I of Saxony and King of Poland. The three-part coat of arms above the entrance portal is a fantasy creation.[1] It shows elements of the Saxon coat of arms with the diamond wreath and the Electorate of Saxony swords, the Polish eagle and a hen, the heraldic animal of the Henneberg counts, and above it the Saxon crown.
