Editing Weimar (section)

==== Religious buildings ====
The city's main church is the Evangelical [[St. Peter und Paul, Weimar|St. Peter and Paul]] on the Herderplatz (known as Die Herderkirche). It was rebuilt in late Gothic style after a fire around 1500. Between 1726 and 1735, the interior underwent a Baroque remodelling by Johann Adolf Richter. [[Johann Gottfried Herder]] was the dean of the church between 1766 and 1803. The second old Evangelical church of Weimar is St. James on Rollplatz, rebuilt in 1712 in Baroque style. The Roman Catholic parish church of Weimar is dedicated to the Sacred Heart and was built between 1888 and 1891 in historicist forms imitating [[Florence Cathedral]]. Another church is the Russian Orthodox Chapel within the historic cemetery. It was built in 1862 as the funerary chapel of [[Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia (1786–1859)|Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna]] and was one of the first Russian-styled buildings in Germany.

Interesting churches in the suburban districts are the Lutheran parish church of [[Gelmeroda]], which was the inspiration for many paintings by [[Lyonel Feininger]], and the Lutheran parish church of [[Oberweimar]], which was a former monastery, and is a good example of Gothic architecture in Weimar.
