Dresden Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, Dresden, is the Catholic Cathedral of Dresden, Germany. Built between 1738 and 1751 by architect Gaetano Chiaveri, it stands as one of Dresden's foremost landmarks. Commissioned by Augustus III, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, the cathedral was built for the use of Catholic rulers in a predominantly Protestant city. The church suffered heavy damage during the bombing of Dresden in World War II but was restored by the East German government and further renovated following reunification. It is now the cathedral of the Diocese of Dresden-Meissen and a prominent burial site of the House of Wettin, including Polish monarchs. The cathedral features a meticulously restored organ by Gottfried Silbermann and a Rococo pulpit by Balthasar Permoser. Notably, the crypts hold the remains of King Augustus the Strong, the last King of Saxony, and various other members of the Wettin family, as well as Polish princes and princesses. The cathedral is open for free entry during the daytime and is a significant part of Dresden's historical and cultural landscape.
