St Michael Church Bautzen

Saint Michael's is known as the Sorb church. It's the first one you find as you walk along the wall from the train station towards the Old Water Tower. The bell was rescued along with part of the church by the pastor during bombing at the end of the war. It was the only bell to survive, and the only they had to ring on Christmas 1945, and for some time after.

Also included, on the topic of Sorbs, our Sorbian lunch at Restaurant Wjebik. He got a plate of five Sorbian dishes: duck breast, fish mousse, meat sulze (yes, he ate jellied meat), goat cheese, and chicken sausage. I had rouladen with veal and carrots inside, which is apparently Sorbian style. We shared a mustard with poached egg soup. Mustard is a huge thing in Bautzen. Pretty restaurant and good food.Leggi altro
