Guided Story
Imagine standing in front of a window that tells stories in vibrant glass. These windows are not just beautiful; they're time capsules. Look up to see the soaring arches almost touching the ceiling. Did you know this church once served as a sanctuary for travelers journeying along the Elbe? Behind you, slightly hidden, is the Lapidarium St. Gertraud, a place where sculptures keep the history of this area alive. If you listen closely, you might even imagine the old hymns sung here across generations.
