Kirche St. Peter und Paul (St. Peter and Paul Church)
Kirche St. Peter und Paul (St. Peter and Paul Church) Review
Perched high above the river is the Kirche St. Peter und Paul, one of Saxony's largest late-Gothic churches, dating to 1423. The real draw of the church is its famous one-of-a-kind organ, built in 1703 by Eugenio Casparini. The Sun Organ gets its name from the circularly arranged pipes and not from the golden sun at the center. Its full and deep sound, as well as its birdcalls, can be heard on Sunday and Wednesday afternoons.
