Weinbergkirche „Zum Heiligen Geist“, Dresden
Facts and practical information
The Lutheran Vineyard Church "Zum Heiligen Geist" is a baroque village church in the Dresden district of Pillnitz, named after its location in the Royal Vineyard. It is not to be confused with the vineyard church built in the 20th century in the Trachenberge district of Dresden.
The sacral building was built from 1723 onwards to replace the Pillnitz Palace Church, which was demolished for the extension of Pillnitz Palace. It is the first executed church building by Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, the architect of the Dresden Zwinger, and is considered a "landmark of the Pillnitz landscape". The building, which was in serious disrepair, especially during the second part of the last century, was extensively restored in the 1990s. The vineyard church is a listed building and is part of the cultural landscape of the Dresden Elbe Valley.
