context_page_description: Luckau is a city in the district of Dahme-Spreewald in the federal state of Brandenburg, Germany. Known for its beauty, it has been dubbed "the Pearl of Lower Lusatia".
context_section_description: Lutheran Church of St. Nicholas
  The gothic, twin-towered hall church was built during the period from 1375 until 1437. During a fire in the church in 1644 most of the mediaeval furnishings were lost. The restoration of the interior was carried out under the direction of the architects Petzsch and Bärgt in a rich baroque style. The organ, which is exceptionally beautiful, was installed by the Leipzig organ manufacturing company Donath during the years from 1672 to 1674. It presents a richly panelled baroque appearance.  Around the year 2002 renovation measures were undertaken at the church.
  Hausmann tower with the Chapel of St. George
  The chapel and its grounds, which were built during the 14th century, have been used only for secular purposes since the Reformation.
  Town fortifications
  Large portions of the old city wall from the 13th and 14th centuries have been preserved. Particularly remarkable is the Red Tower (Roter Turm).
  Baroque gabled houses
  The beautiful marketplace is bordered by numerous baroque dwelling houses. Some of these structures were richly adorned with decorative stucco by Italian baroque master-builders.
  Town hall
  The town hall (Rathaus) was built during the 17th century, and later remodeled in neoclassical style.
