The St. Peter and Paul Church is a must-visit when you are in Görlitz! 👍

Not only is the church very impressive both inside and out, it also houses one of the world's largest organs: the Sun Organ. This organ has been restored piece by piece over the last few decades. Most of the work has now been completed, and further restorations to other parts of the organ are still pending. Organ concerts are held on special occasions. In the St. Peter and Paul Church you can also buy several CDs of different concerts of the Sun Organ. 👍

Perched high above the Neisse, St. Peter's Church is the city's landmark. Approaching it from the east, the viewer is presented with an imposing sight: the mighty east choir with the pointed copper roof over a length of 72 meters tells of the former defensive strength of the city, but also of its wealth. It is probably the oldest church in the city, having emerged from an early 11th century castle church.
