Dom St Petri
The Dom St Petri is the only Simultankirche in eastern Germany, meaning it serves both Catholics and Protestants. When the Reformation reached Bautzen in 1524, both agreed to share the church - the Protestants held services in the nave and the Catholics in the choir. There's a waist-high iron grating separating the two which was 4m high until 1952!

Today it deviates 1.4m from the centre, making it one of the steepest leaning towers north of the Alps.
