Guided Story
As you stand here in St. Michael, feel the gentle play of light and shadow across the intricate Baroque details. Look up, and you'll see the ornate carvings that seem to tell their own silent stories. This chapel was more than a place of worship; it was a haven during the turbulent times of the Thirty Years' War. If you listen closely, you might imagine the echo of ancient prayers and whispers of history. Behind you, the quiet gravestones speak of the people who found their final rest here. Notice how this space, despite its grandeur, exudes a sense of intimacy? It's as though these walls hold the secrets of those who sought solace within them.
