Guided Story
Have you noticed how the light dances through the windows, casting a warm glow inside? Look up at the stunning stucco work by Giovanni Battista Pedrozzi. It tells tales of the grandeur from when the church was part of the Margrave's residence. Did you know there's a hidden passageway to the Old Castle, just 70 meters to the west? Margravine Wilhelmine, a great patron of the arts, would use it to reach the church discreetly. This makes the place not just an architectural gem but also a treasure trove of history. Take a moment to appreciate the details, the stories from the past embedded in every corner.
