Guided Story
Feel the quiet around you, almost like a soft blanket wrapping the space. Look up at the soaring arches and intricate windows of this early Gothic masterpiece. Did you know this was once part of a Dominican monastery? Imagine the monks walking these halls, their footsteps echoing in the stillness. Behind you, you might catch a glimpse of St. Dionys Church, another piece of the town's spiritual tapestry. And to the north, the Frauenkirche sits on the hillside, almost like a guardian watching over the city. These churches seem to whisper to each other, each sharing its own piece of history.
