We’re going to make another stop to Seiffen in this guest post series but for one primary reason: this church. The Bergkirchen Seiffen is one of the most beloved landmarks of the town in Saxony that is considered the toy capital of the world, and one that is one of the most commonly used motifs on the Christmas arches (Schwibbogen- or Schwibbi for short.) Karen Lodder of German Girl in America did some extensive research about its history which you can find in the article below. It also includes some guides on visiting Seiffen and enjoying Christmasses in the Ore Mountains:
