Friedenskirche, Leipzig

Friedenskirche, Leipzig

While many of the city's attractions are located in the center, a visit to Gohlis, a small village in the countryside, is well worth it. A part of the city since the late 19th century, it is where Friedenskirche can be found. Construction of this Neo-Gothic church began in 1871, designed by architect Hugo Altendorff. The church’s tower offers a great view of the surrounding landscape.
