Guided Story

Can you feel the tranquility emanating from these ancient walls? This church was built back in 1757. Look up, and you'll notice the high, simple roof that's so characteristic of Protestant architecture from that era. Behind you, somewhat hidden, is the old castle tower, a nod to the medieval history of the area. The story of this church is one of a community that redefined itself during the Reformation and held onto its faith through many changes. If you look closely, you'll see the small details on the facade, lovingly maintained over the centuries. Perhaps you also hear the whispers of the past as the wind rustles through the trees.
