Guided Story
Look up and take in the grandeur of those arches. These vaults have silently observed centuries of history. If you place your hand on the cool stone walls, you might feel the echoes of the past. Did you know pilgrims once rested here on their way to Santiago de Compostela? Imagine the diverse travelers who have passed through these halls. Behind you, to the north, is the Dicker Turm, a part of the old city fortifications that once protected this very church. The quiet inside stands in stark contrast to the bustling city outside. Let yourself be enveloped by the peace and majesty of this sacred place.
