The Holy Trinity Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession, better known as Zug's Protestant Church ( _pl. Zbór Zuga) is a Lutheran church in Warsaw, Poland. This is one of two Augsburg Evangelical churches in Warsaw. Designed and constructed by Szymon Bogumił Zug, it is one of the largest churches in Warsaw and one of the most notable for its design.

History

The king's banker, Piotr Tepper, made efforts to build the church and in 1777 he obtained the appropriate privilege from King Stanisław August Poniatowski.en icon cite web |author = |url = http://www.luteranie.pl/warszawa-trojca/index.php?lang=en&cel=historia |title = Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Warsaw |work = luteranie.pl |publisher = |pages = |page = |date = |accessdate = 2008-02-18] The king however reserved for him self the right of choosing the design of the building. The church was built in 1777–1782 to Szymon Bogumił Zug's design in form of a Classic rotunda, like the Pantheon of Rome.en icon cite web |author = |url = http://www.um.warszawa.pl/v_syrenka/perelki/index_en.php?mi_id=92&dz_id=11 |title = Holy Trinity Evangelical Church |work = um.warszawa.pl |publisher = |pages = |page = |date = |accessdate = 2008-02-18] The Lutheran church was the highest and at the same time one of the biggest buildings of 18th century Warsaw. The diameter of the dome was 33.4 meters long and the height was 58 meters. The huge dome with magnificent lantern tower still dominates high over the nearby buildings. It upholds the spirit of pure classicism.

The church fell into ruin when bombed and burnt by the Germans on September 16, 1939. It was rebuilt after war. Inside, visitors are impressed by its double gallery encirclicng the interior. Because of its acoustic improvements and a splendid organ, the Warsaw Chamber Opera "(Warszawska Opera Kameralna)" regularly organizes in this building concerts of classical music.
