Guided Story

Imagine, right where you stand, people have been coming to pray for almost a thousand years. The thick walls of this church have witnessed Goslar's days as a thriving imperial city. Look up and take in the intricate carvings—crafted by artisans who poured their skill into every stone. Behind you, the majestic Town Hall stands, while to your right, the Kaiserworth, once a grand guild house. And those saints, Cosmas and Damian, after whom the church is named—they were doctors known for their healing deeds. Quite fitting, isn’t it, for a place that offers peace and reflection?
