Tips from the Community

Der Bornschisser
September 25, 2025, Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche Ziesar

The Holy Cross Church in Ziesar is a single-nave, late Romanesque church built from fieldstone – Ice Age boulders – in the first half of the 13th century. Its appearance is rather simple, both inside and out. After renovations, the choir shows the first influences of the emerging Brick Gothic style.
