Guided Story

Feel the tranquility around you? This chapel's history dates back to the 17th century when Capuchin monks offered their prayers here. Look up and admire the simple elegance of Clemens Rühl's design. The high ceilings and gentle arches draw your gaze inward, inviting introspection. Turn around, and you might notice the worn steps and polished wood of the pews, reminders of those who've come before you. Just behind you, slightly hidden, is the St. Bernhard Chapel, another haven of peace. Take a moment to absorb the atmosphere – a rare oasis of reflection amidst the bustling city.
