Guided Story

Can you feel the tranquility here? The way the light streams through those tall windows creates a soft, almost mystical glow inside. Look up at that remarkable ceiling structure. Johannes Krahn's modern lines give the space such an incredible sense of airiness. This church is dedicated to Saint Wendelin, the patron saint of shepherds and farmers.
