The Churches of Görlitz
I offer the following tours inside the Görlitz historical churches:
St. Peter’s Church
The St. Peter’s Church is the town church and the largest hall church in Eastern Germany. In its current form the Church was largely built in the 15th century. The St. Peter's Church is famous for its unique Sun Organ. Also worth seeing is the lower church under the choir, the St. George’s Chapel, one of the most beautiful late Gothic rooms in East Germany.
Duration: 45 minutes.

Holy Trinity Church
The Holy Trinity Church (Dreifaltigkeitskirche) is the former Franciscan monastery church. The main altar, the pulpit and the vault paintings are worth seeing, as well as the Golden Mary Altar.
