St. Martin Garrison Church, Dresden, Germany

The St. Martin garrison church of Dresden was the garrison church of Albertstadt, which had been created as a military town for much of the Saxon army. The church, built between 1893 and 1900, is divided into two separate church halls for the Protestant and Catholic denominations, of which since 1945 only the Catholic part is used in a sacred way.

One of the most beautiful churches I’ve seen in Europe. With so much details in the structure. Google says it is closed but the door was open and people were inside.

Such a beautiful church! A bit out of city center, but it worth visiting if you have time. The church was open to visit, even though in the Google said it was already close due to the time. It's quite small the visiting area inside, but it's very beautiful. When I visit the outside needed some maintenance, I hope they will take more care of it.

A very beautiful and serene church at a very beautiful location. The interior architecture is so mesmerizing. The church is open for visiting from 12:00 to 17:00. The historical church is very old but well maintained making it one masterpiece of art.

I can not believe this church is not more talked about. It is absolutely breathtaking. Has such a uniqueness to it that isn't seen often.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
