City church of St. Nicolai Waldheim

The history of the town church can be traced back to the year 1336. The old church stood on the market square until 1832, where a star can now be seen in the pavement. It was dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of merchants. In 1684 the church fell victim to a town fire, but was rebuilt. In the great town fire of 1832 the church burned down again and was not rebuilt on the same spot, but on the Kellerberg. The foundation stone was laid in 1839, and the consecration in 1842. The construction of the church cost 51.264 thalers. The Saxon Ministry of Culture supported the construction and the state of Saxony announced a collection. There are three galleries inside the church. The colors light blue, white and gold dominate the interior design. The organ was built by the Borna organ master Urban Kreutzbach.

Waldheim is a stop on the Saxon Luther Trail.
