List of church buildings in the Erzgebirgskreis

St. Annen in Annaberg-Buchholz

Most of the approximately 300 church buildings in the Erzgebirge district are subordinate to the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Saxony . The oldest churches in the Erzgebirgskreises originated in the days of settlement of the Ore Mountains around 1200. Of outstanding history of architecture importance are the three late Gothic hall churches St. Annen in Annaberg-Buchholz , St. Wolfgang in Schneeberg and St. Marien in Marienberg , the fortified church in Großrückerswalde and the Trinitatiskirche in Carlsfeld , which, as an early form of the Saxon central building, is the forerunner of the Frauenkirche in Dresden . The church buildings of the free churches , the Catholic parishes and the special religious communities mostly date from the 20th century.
