Please note

Since the state capital Dresden ordered an evacuation of the Dresden Old Town, the Frauenkirche initially remained closed today. After the measure was lifted, we now warmly invite all interested visitors to the evening devotion at 6:00 p.m. Sightseeing in the church interior and the ascent to the dome will be possible again starting tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding.
Stay safe.
