St. George's Church Zabeltitz

Very beautiful village church right next to the entrance to the palace gardens of Palais Zabeltitz.

Since it survived all wars and the major fire of 1808 almost unscathed, the late Gothic village church of St. Georgen is the oldest surviving structure in Zabeltitz today. Church weddings can of course also take place in the baroque wedding village.

The construction of the present church dates back to Nickel Pflugk, which was built in 1580/81 in place of the old wooden church in the late Gothic style, but already influenced by the Renaissance. Georgen is today the oldest surviving building in Zabeltitz, as it survived almost unscathed all wars and the great fire of 1808.
