Frauenkirche Groitzsch

The rather plain-looking church has been rebuilt several times over the centuries. It was probably built around 1090 as a castle church with the round chapel of the nearby Wiprechtsburg. When the outer castle was destroyed in 1224, the church was also damaged and was subsequently converted into a pillar basilica. The current Groitzsch Frauenkirche is a three-aisled staggered hall. The rectangular west tower of the church comes from the previous building. 

Today the tower consists of the Romanesque core and the square Baroque tower top with a tail cap and open lantern. The choir and the nave have high, simple Gothic pointed arch windows. Inside, the entire church has a flat roof. The central nave is as wide as a hall. It opens onto the side aisles, each with two large round arches. Carved figures from a Baroque altar have been preserved and enrich the interior. A comprehensive renovation of the interior of the church and an extension of the choir were carried out in 1883/84. The neo-Gothic interior, the sacristy and the stair towers on the west side as well as the stained glass windows also date from this period.
In 2007, the interior was renovated.
