The Notre Dame Cathedral in Dresden was built in 1726. It was designed and built by carpenter Olger Bell and took 17 years to complete. The Notre Dame Cathedral is 95 meters high, huge in scale, exquisite and gorgeous. It is a representative work of Western new church architecture, a landmark building in this ancient city, and a more beautiful scenery in Dresden. At the end of World War II, the Cathedral of Notre Dame was reduced to ruins under the bombing of the British and American air forces, leaving only a 13-meter-high wall. This is the eternal pain that the war brought to the people of Dresden. After the reunification of Germany, with the support of donations from Britain and the United States and other countries, Germany decided to rebuild the Notre Dame Cathedral. Since 1994, the reconstruction work took 11 years and cost 179 million euros. The reconstructed church was basically built as it was, and many relics were carefully preserved and became part of the church's construction materials.Dresden · 19.4 km from Lohmen

Dresden is a city that is worth visiting in depth. Through this city rebuilt after World War II, you can see the value of life. It is a must to visit the palace here. I bought the ticket for the group entrance on the platform in advance. Unfortunately, the tour guide was in German and I couldn't understand it at all, but it was a feast for the eyes.

Bastei National Geopark is known as the Zhangjiajie of Germany. The scenery is full of strange rocks and very strange stone pillars standing in the clouds. Looking left and right, the scenery is different from every angle. There is also the Elbe River that runs through the stone pillars, which is really beautiful.

The Saxon town of Pillnitz is a district of Dresden, with the Pillnitz Palace and Park on the Elbe River. The Water Palace is built on the upper side of the park like a reflection of the Mountain Palace. Both palaces combine late baroque and Chinese architectural styles. Two Asian-style palaces are located on both sides of the "New Palace" built by architect Christian Friedrich Schulich. The most beautiful attraction in Pillnitz is the beautiful Pillnitz Park. There are many rare trees in the park, especially the "Dutch Garden" and the coniferous forest garden - "Taipei". The Vineyard Church designed by Popelmann is also a charming building with its high hipped roof and many branches entwined below. You can go to the Brühl Terrace, also known as the "Balcony of Europe", from which you can see the cathedral and the Semperoper Opera House.

This church is closely related to Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672), the greatest German composer of the 17th century. He is buried in this church. Of course, in the old one. Unfortunately, it was destroyed when the new church was built.
Schütz was born less than 40 years after Martin Luther's death. He gave great artistic achievements to German Protestant church music. As for Schütz, he actually studied law at first. When he was a church choir singer at the age of 13, he was discovered by the Count of Hessen-Kassel and funded his research in different fields of music. In 1609, he went to Venice, where he spent three years studying music. It can be said that he was a very talented musician, and he also used all the talents given to him by God in church music: 500 works handed down by him - almost all of them were composed according to the Luther Bible. "The Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ", written in 1645, can be said to be one of his best works. Unfortunately, it was never performed during his lifetime and was not published until 1873.
