Saschiz Fortress

The fortified church of Saschiz (1493–1525) was built in late Gothic style on a former Romanesque basilica site. It features massive arches above buttresses, a defensive gallery over nave and chancel, and murder holes. The tower, built in 1832, stands 10 meters north of the church facade. The church has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.
