Emmaus Church

As early as 1273, there was a house of worship in Kaditz, the Laurentiuskapelle. From the early 14th century until 1540, Kaditz was a filial church of the Friedenskirche in Kötzschenbroda, before it was elevated to a parish church itself. Around 1500, a new building was constructed in the late Gothic style as a hall church with a west tower. In the 17th century, around 1680, the tower gables were redesigned in the Renaissance style. Between 1750 and 1756, the church interior underwent a Baroque transformation, with Johann Gottfried Knöffler creating the wooden pulpit altar. In the 19th century, starting in 1869, the church was extensively renovated in the Neo-Gothic style.
