Did you know that Saint Joseph, the church's namesake, is the patron saint of workers? Perhaps you can feel the quiet strength he embodies here. Take a few steps closer, and you'll notice the large stained glass windows that light up with vibrant colors when the sun shines through. Behind you is the Platz des 23. April, a peaceful spot perfect for a moment of reflection.
