St. Thomas Church, known as the place where Johann Sebastian Bach worked and home to the Thomanerchor, dominates Leipzig's cityscape with its 68-meter-high tower and attracts visitors from all over the world. Founded in the 13th century, it was the scene of important historical events, has been redesigned several times and was most recently expanded by four bells between 2019 and 2021 through the restoration of its chimes.
