Guided Story
Look up and you'll notice the striking roof, almost as if it's reaching out to the sky. This church is a haven of peace, yet it holds an intriguing story. Did you know that on Christmas Day in 1965, there was a procession here, as if the whole community gathered to celebrate the church's consecration with a festive march? Feel the quietness around you? The modern design by Hans Schilling is meant to evoke just that—a moment of reflection amidst the city. Take a few steps forward and admire the clean lines of the walls, almost like a piece of art. And if you close your eyes, you might still hear the echo of the songs from that inaugural celebration.
