Guided Story
Can you feel the calm surrounding you? Look up at those grand arches. This architecture whispers tales of when the Teutonic Order influenced life here in Kirchhausen. Did you know that the ceiling once featured monumental frescoes? They were lost during renovations, but you can almost picture them in your mind. To your left, towards the Zehntscheune, imagine the bustling activity of the past, with taxes being stored there. It's as if the walls of St. Alban Church hold all these stories within their stones.
