Guided Story
Here you are at the Aula Carolina, a place rich in history. This former monastic church of the Augustinian Hermits, once dedicated to St. Katharina, now stands as a protected architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia. Look around and you'll notice the historic walls that breathe life into school gatherings and public cultural events. It's an integral part of the Kaiser-Karls-Gymnasium, just to the west of where you are standing. As you stand here, imagine the echoes of the past mingling with the present, a space that continues to serve the community. The entrance to Pontstraße is just a short walk northeast from here.
