    A very beautiful church with a high tower, in which there is a former tower keeper's apartment with a small café (which is open on weekends). We were in Oschatz at the weekend and actually just wanted to look at the church. We were warmly welcomed there and asked if we had already visited the tower. Although it was already around 3/4 five and the tower was actually only open until 5 p.m., we were able to visit everything in peace and were told a lot about the history. A big compliment to the nice gentlemen.

    Simply a must when visiting Oschatz! Both the church and the tower keeper's apartment are very beautiful and are lovingly maintained! From the tower keeper's apartment you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city and at the same time learn a lot about the life of the former tower keepers for just €2 admission as an adult and €0.50 for children. It is always open on weekends, and there are also guided tours for groups during the week.

    (Translated by Google) Oschatz is worth a trip for the church alone. For 2 euros you can climb the tower with 2 outside floors for a great view over Oschatz. In the middle of the tower, the highlight is the restored tower apartment. There you will learn nice stories and you can also get coffee and cake at the weekend. Kudos to Oschatz and the church association. (Original) Oschatz ist eine Reise allein schon wegen der Kirche wert. Für 2 Euro kann man auf den Turm mit 2 Außenetagen für eine top Aussicht über Oschatz. In der Mitte des Turms ist das Highlight die restaurierte Türmer Wohnung. Dort erfährt man schöne Geschichten und kann auch am Wochenende Kaffee und Kuchen bekommen. Großes Lob an Oschatz und den Verein der Kirche.

    (Translated by Google) Surprisingly big church with a high tower. The biggest surprise: at the top you will be welcomed with historical stories and café and cake on a donation basis. We were there on Sunday (Original) Überraschend große Kirche mit einem hohen Turm. Die größte Überraschung: oben wird man mit historischen Erzählungen und Café und Kuchen auf Spendenbasis empfangen. Wir waren sonntags da

    (Translated by Google) We, the Oschatzer Heimatchor, had invited to the choir concert again. Many guests came and we singers gave our best. In the end we were rewarded with a lot of applause. I always enjoy singing in the church acoustics. (Original) Wir,der Oschatzer Heimatchor hatte wieder zum Chorkonzert eingeladen.Viele Gäste kamen und wir Sänger haben unser Bestes gegeben.Zum Schluss wurden wir mit viel Applaus belohnt.Mir gefällt es immer wieder in der Kirche zu singen.Es ist ein schönes Ambiente und eine tolle Akustik.

    (Translated by Google) The very beautiful two-tower church of St. Aegidien, which can be seen from afar from all directions and a striking landmark of the city, still had an inhabited 3-story tower apartment at a height of 40-56 m until 1970. Rescued in the 90s by an association and restored, you can visit it today for a small fee and on top of that you have a wonderful view from 2 galleries at 40 and 56 m height. Thanks to the restored staircase, the ascent is actually quite easy today. The city and the church are definitely worth a visit. (Original) Die sehr schöne zweitürmige Kirche St.Aegidien, bereits von Weitem aus allen Richtungen zu sehen und ein markantes Wahrzeichen der Stadt, hatte bis 1970 noch eine bewohnte 3-etagige Türmerwohnung in 40-56 m Höhe. In den 90er Jahren durch einen Verein gerettet und wieder eingerichtet kann man diese heute für ein geringes Entgelt besichtigen und hat obendrein eine herrliche Aussicht von 2 Umgängen in 40 und 56 m Höhe. Der Aufstieg ist heute dank der ebenfalls restaurierten Treppe sogar recht bequem. Die Stadt und die Kirche sind einen Besuch unbedingt wert.

    Wonderful piece of history to visit. Although there were lots of stairs to climb up, there were pictures placed along the walls to look at as you passed them going up to the next set of stairs. We were greeted by a tour guide who knew exactly what he was doing and told us the story of the church and made it very interesting. The view of everything around the church was fantastic too. We were offered cake and a drink in exchange for a donation which was lovely. All the people working there were very friendly and knew what to do and how to make the story interesting. A great visit and would highly recommend.

    Looks very nice, the courage of the people who keep it running and restore it has to be admired. Today was the first time on site, otherwise only the impressive building could be seen shining over the fields from a distance.

    The volunteers put their heart and soul into looking after the church, the tower room and us visitors. Thank you for the many interesting insights with guidance. We also enjoyed the coffee and cake. A friendly, warm team that makes you feel at home. The view of Oschatz is magnificent. If you visit Oschatz, be sure to stop by here.

    Turmbesichtigung mit historischer Türmerstube ist ein Ausflug für die ganze Familie. Nette Leute die sich um den Erhalt der Türmerstube kümmern, haben uns prima informiert. Kaffee und Kuchen in einer historischen Stube mit Ausblick über ganz Oschatz gibt es ebenfalls. Vielen Dank für die tollen Infos und die herzliche Gastfreundschaft. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

    Eine schöne Kirche. Wir hatten das Glück eine Probe zu hören, das war natürlich noch mal beeindruckender

  • 4/5 Lothar H. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful churches in Saxony at all. The two towers are very filigree and seem fragile. The cobbler's apartment in the tower is well known and the organ concerts are an unforgettable experience (Original) Eine der schönsten Kirchen in Sachsen überhaupt. Die beiden Türme sind sehr filigran und wirken zerbrechlich. Bekannt ist die Schuster-Wohnung im Turm und die Orgel-Konzerte sind ein unvergessliches Erlebnis

    (Translated by Google) A good view of the whole Oschats opens from the tower. The church has a very interesting history, a family of 16 people lived in the tower, come listen) (Original) Хороший вид на весь Ошац открывается с башни. Очень интересная у церкви история, в бащне жила семья из 16ти человек, приходите послушать)

    Very beautiful old church that has an unusual amount of gold on the altar for a Protestant church. Otherwise it is kept very simple. It was also very nice of Mr. Sierenberg, who told us some history about the church at the castle. Thank you for the time you gave us and for the great information. We'd love to come back. You should call to arrange an opening date, otherwise it will be closed. Unless of course it is a trade fair or a concert, then it is open. It's a shame that there wasn't time for me to take a look at the tower apartment. Admission is of course free for a visit, but a donation is always welcome ☺️

    The Turmer apartment is worth a visit. Immerse yourself in a time long gone. There was even cake and coffee.
