Görlitz Unmissables

Görlitz features over 4,000 listed monuments spanning Gothic, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau styles. This selection highlights the city's architectural preservation, including the 14th-century Town Hall, the late-Gothic St. Peter and Paul Church, and the Art Nouveau Görlitz Department Store. Often used as a film set for international productions, the historic core also features the Holy Sepulchre—a medieval replica of Jerusalem's sacred sites—and the Kaisertrutz, a massive 15th-century defensive bastion now serving as a cultural history museum.
