Guided Story

Imagine being surrounded by walls that have witnessed over 300 years of history. The air is calm, almost reverent, and if you look up, you'll see the exquisite baroque details of the ceiling. Can you spot the intricate stucco work? This church wasn't always a place of peace. In 1945, near the war's end, it was heavily damaged. Yet, like a phoenix, it has risen to its former glory. Turn around and take a look at the crypt. There lies Father Rupert Mayer, a man renowned for his steadfast resistance against the Nazi regime. Standing here, you can almost feel the stories these walls hold within them.
