The Holy Trinity Cathedral in Dresden was founded by King Augustus III of Poland. The building was erected between 1739 and 1751, based on a design by the Italian architect Gaetano Chiavera. The church's crypt contains the sarcophagi of August III, his wife Maria Josefa of the Habsburgs, Friedrich August I of Wettin, and an urn containing the heart of Friedrich August I (King August II the Strong of Poland). Also important to note is a plaque in the church commemorating the Polish martyrs murdered in Dresden: Czesław Jóźwiak, Edward Kaźmierski, Franciszek Kęse, Edward Klinik, Jarogniew Wojciechowski and Grzegorz Frąckowiak. The plaque is placed in one of the side altars.
