St. Anne’s Church is a historic church located in the city of Augsburg, Germany. It is considered one of the most important examples of Renaissance architecture in Germany and is famous for its elaborate façade and stunning interior.

The church was built in the late 16th century by the wealthy merchant Jakob Fugger as a private chapel for his family. It features a façade that is decorated with intricate stonework, sculptures, and reliefs that depict scenes from the Bible and classical mythology.

The interior of St. Anne’s Church is equally impressive, with a series of ornate chapels, altars, and frescoes that date back to the Renaissance period. The church also houses a number of important religious artifacts, including a statue of St. Anne and the relics of St. Simpert, the first bishop of Augsburg.

Today, St. Anne’s Church is still an active parish church and is a popular destination for religious pilgrims and tourists alike. Visitors can attend daily mass or explore the church’s rich history and architectural beauty. The church is also used as a venue for concerts and other cultural events throughout the year.
