Guided Story

Imagine yourself standing where the townspeople of Horkheim once whispered their prayers back in the 14th century. Look up to see the intricate wooden designs in the ceiling – a masterpiece by Heinrich Schickhardt from the 17th century. Behind you, by the entrance, lie the impressive tombstones of the Lemlin family, telling tales of power and influence from centuries past. The quiet, only interrupted by the occasional sound of church bells, lets you feel the passage of time. Close your eyes, and you might almost hear the footsteps of those who came before you. And if you glance northwest, you'll spot the Horkheim Castle, another testament to the rich history of this place.
