This ceiling is a thing of beauty. This is a “timbrel vaulted” ceiling, a self supported arch made using thin ceramic tiles as a structural element. This particular example of a timbrel vault is called “Gaustavino tile” after Rafael Guastavino, who developed and patented his process in the late 19th century.

The vaulted ceiling of St. Mary in Pirna is one of the most outstanding works of its kind. It is, so to speak, one of the culmination points of the development of vaults in the Gothic style. These vaults were designed by Peter Ulrich; the other master builders contributed with their own ideas after Peter Ulrich had died.
