Facts and practical information

St. Michael's Church in Bautzen is located near the Old Waterworks on the southwest arch of the rocky spur above the Spree River, on which the Old Town of Bautzen was built. The square between the church, the Wasserkunst, and the Inner and Outer City Walls is called the Wendish Churchyard.

The ensemble of the waterworks and St. Michael's Church is the landmark of the city of Bautzen. Stylized, it was used in many municipal signs and inscriptions. After the famous Dresden buildings and Moritzburg Castle, it is also one of the most frequently used motifs for tourist advertising in Saxony.
