Guided Story

Imagine standing here where a medieval Benedictine monastery once thrived. The walls around you, now so serene, have witnessed countless tales. Look up and take in the clean lines of the architecture designed by Johann Philipp Geigel in the 18th century. This church has transformed significantly—from a Catholic abbey church to the first evangelical church in the city. Can you feel the tranquility? This silence holds echoes of prayers and choir songs from centuries past. If you turn around, you might catch a glimpse of the Hexenturm to the southeast, hinting at an even older era.
