    Large, imposing building.
    Built in the late 15th and early 16th centuries as the largest late Gothic hall church in Saxony. The tower is 78 meters high and can be seen from afar.
    A watchman family still lives on the bell tower.

      Saint Anne, patroness of this Gothic church in Annaberg-Buchholz, is the mother of Mary, the mother of God, who is not attested in the biblical texts, i.e. the grandmother of Jesus Christ. However, it is mentioned in apocryphal (that is, not included in the canon of the Bible) writings, for example in the so-called "Protoevangelium of James". There is no historically reliable knowledge about Anna's life, but there are numerous traditional stories that are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patroness of Anna's Church in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia), where a piece of her skull is kept as a relic.
      In the church calendar, the day of remembrance of St. Anne - together with her husband Joachim - is on July 26th.

        The acoustics in the church are overwhelming. An organ concert in the
        St. Anne's Church to enjoy.
