St. Anne's Church
St. Anna
The church where Martin Luther stayed in 1518. The Fugger Chapel is Germany's first Renaissance building.
St. Anne's Church originally belonged to a Carmelite monastery. In 1518, when Luther came to Augsburg for trial, he stayed here. The Luther Staircase exhibit inside tells the story of the Reformation. The Fugger Family Chapel on the west side of the church (1509-1512) is considered Germany's first Renaissance building, and it holds the tomb of Jakob Fugger. The church also contains paintings by Lucas Cranach the Elder. Admission is free, and it is located near the old town's shopping streets.
