Guided Story

Standing here, you can almost feel the whispers of the past around you. Look up at the intricate baroque paintings that illuminate the space. Did you know this church was built on the site of an old chapel? That chapel was expanded in the 16th century before giving way to this magnificent structure. Turn around and admire the lofty ceilings that fill the room with a serene grandeur. Now, look left — towards the distant Hofgarten, imagine people once walking here, inspired by the church's presence. These walls have witnessed countless stories, as if they could speak them themselves.
