Dresden - Hofkirche
The origins of this church coming into existence started with Augustus the Strong being told by the Pope that in order to be recognized as the King of Poland, the August had to convert to Catholicism. So August built this catholic church in Dresden satisfy that "requirement". The insides of the church are not nearly as adorned as the Protestant/Lutheran counterparts in Germany, or even the Frauenkirche a few blocks away in downtown Dresden. Taking substantial damage in WWII, the Hofkirche is mostly restored to its formal glory. It is a vision of beauty during the day, but things go to another level at night, enjoy!
