Guided Story
Imagine being in a time when sunlight could be turned into music. Look up and see those 17 sun-shaped pipes adorning the organ. Just behind you are the towering walls of the Church of St. Peter and Paul. This organ was first crafted in 1703, a time when music was a luxury for many. And yet, within these grand walls, the community could hear its celestial sounds. In 1997, it was updated to keep its ancient melodies alive in the modern world. They say if you listen closely, you can feel the spirit of the past in its music. It's a magical moment where history and the present day come together.
