Hiking

Like so many buildings in Zittau, the St. John's Church is a new building from the period after the Seven Years War. The construction started in 1766, but due to static problems the construction was delayed. Preussen's chief building director Karl Friedrich Schinkel was added, who finally completed the construction with his Zittau pupil Carl August Schramm. The south tower of the church can even be climbed. From the top you have a great view of the unique old town of Zittau. Church and tower are open all year.

The first mention of the church dates back to 1291. The predecessor building was completely destroyed in July 1757 during the Seven Years War. In the years 1766-1804 the church was rebuilt in Baroque style. Due to static problem only the north tower was equipped with a top, the second tower remained unfinished, which makes the church unique.

Heavily aspiring church is the size.
