Guided Story

Feel the peace surrounding this place? Look up, and you’ll notice the baroque tower reaching towards the sky. It’s one of the few original parts of the church that has witnessed the passage of time. Originally, the church was part of a hospital founded by Duke Albrecht V in the 16th century for the needy. Imagine nurses and patients once bustling through these grounds. The modern facade you see is the result of a reconstruction in the 1950s. Yet, the spirit of the Baroque era lingers in the intricate details of the tower. Let the quiet dignity of this site envelop you and take a moment to absorb the atmosphere.
