Annaberg-Buchholz

Annaberg-Buchholz combines the ordered streets of a former mining town with the forested uplands of the Ore Mountains, reflecting its historic position in Saxony’s silver-mining district. Founded after silver was found nearby in the late 15th century, it developed as one of the region’s important mining centres. St. Anne’s Church, begun in 1499, is a major late-Gothic landmark at the heart of town. The Frohnauer Hammer preserves the industrial world of ore processing, while the local mining landscape forms part of the UNESCO Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region.
