St. Egidien's Church is located directly adjacent to Colditz Castle. It is the largest church in the town of Colditz.
It was first documented in 1286. After being destroyed in a fire in 1430, it was rebuilt in 1504. The only remaining part is the high choir with its ribbed net vault made of Rochlitz porphyry. The high altar, donated by Electress Sophie in 1598, is historically significant.
