Since August 2011, the Klosterkirche St. Annen has been serving multiple purposes. It is not only a place for ecclesiastical activities and concerts but also houses the Klosterkirche und Sakralmuseum St. Annen. This museum showcases sacred works of art from the Kamenz churches, offering visitors a chance to appreciate the religious artistry of the region.
The Klosterkirche und Sakralmuseum St. Annen houses a valuable and diverse collection that narrates the stories of Franciscans, donors, veneration of saints, and the Reformation period. One of the highlights of the museum is the unique ensemble of five late Gothic winged altars, covered by a Gothic ribbed vault. This feature provides visitors with an opportunity to discover and appreciate the art of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
The Klosterkirche und Sakralmuseum St. Annen is an important stop on the Via Sacra, a tourist route that connects unique buildings and art treasures in Upper Lusatia, Lower Silesia, and Northern Bohemia. This makes the museum not only a destination in itself but also a part of a larger cultural and historical journey through the region.
