Guided Story

Standing here, you witness the remarkable versatility of architecture. The climbing center, originally designed by Clemens Holzmeister in 1933, was once known as the parish church of St. Peter. Today, it serves a completely different purpose. Its soaring walls, once echoing with prayers, now host climbing enthusiasts. This transformation highlights how historical heritage can merge with contemporary recreation. If you look to the west, you might spot the Rönneter Chapel about a kilometer away. Visiting this site is like taking a journey through time and space, all encapsulated within the walls of this unique climbing church.
