Guided Story

Look up at those towering spires reaching into the sky. They embody the neo-Gothic ambition to touch the heavens. Did you know this was the first neo-Gothic church in the region? Imagine the 19th-century townsfolk arriving here, perhaps in horse-drawn carriages, for Sunday service. If you listen closely, you might almost hear the echoes of the old organ music resonating through the high arches. Behind you, in the distance, is the Hans-Carl-von-Carlowitz Park. It's a lovely spot to relax and soak in the tranquility after exploring this beautiful church.
