Guided Story
Imagine it's 1646. The Thirty Years' War has just ended. All around, you can feel the calm after such a long storm. Look at the simple facade of St. Agnes, its unadorned elegance is striking. Up above, stained glass windows catch the sunlight, casting colorful patterns inside. Behind you, about 336 meters southeast, is the old Angermund Castle, once a strategic point in the war. It's as if the walls here whisper stories of hope and renewal. This church was more than a place of worship; it was a symbol of new beginnings and the peace that people desperately craved.
