The Dresden Frauenkirche in Mini - you don't expect that in such a small place.
Wikipedia writes: The hammer and blue painter Veit Hans Schnorr von Carolsfeld used a foundation in 1682 to encourage the construction of a church including a rectory and a school building for the “mental and emotional well-being” of the workers in his hammer mill (first called the “Blechcompanie”) in Carlsfeld.
The church is in excellent condition - a wonderful gem in the furthest corner of the Ore Mountains.

In the center of the town is the octagonal Trinity Church in Baroque style. It is the oldest sacral circular building in Saxony and the model for many other churches, such as the Frauenkirche in Dresden.
It was built between 1684 and 1688 by Johann Georg Roth on behalf of Veit Hans Schnorr. Their model was St. Peter's Church in Rome. The pulpit altar with its large carved figures is one of the most important works of the German High Baroque. Johann Heinrich Böhme the Younger created it in 1688.
