The late-gothic Mother Church St. Marien in Kamenz
with its 66 metres high tower was probably built in the 13th century.
The valuable interior, which was renewed in 1890, shows Schnitzel altars, epitaphs, sculptures, small prayer-chamber and galleries. 
The church was built mainly with granite, the tracery windows are made of sandstone.
Numerous events give visitors the chance to enjoy the beautiful sound of the Walcker-organ.
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing was baptised in this church, whose father preached in it for over 50 years.
