🥳 We are so proud to be the home of yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site!

The town Herrnhut in Upper Lusatia is the founding site and home to the Moravian Church, the “Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine”. Since July 26th, 2024, the congregation settlement in Herrnhut is part of a transnational UNESCO site including Moravian settlements in the US, Denmark and Northern Ireland.

More than 30 settlements worldwide have been built accordingly. By the way, the Moravian star also originates from here! ⭐️
