Guided Story
Look up at the intricately designed windows, casting colorful patterns as the light streams through. Did you know this church played a pivotal role during the Thirty Years' War? It served as a refuge for many seeking safety during those turbulent times. If you listen closely, you might just hear the whispers of history echoing through these ancient walls. To your left, notice the impressive altarpiece. It tells the story of St. Rochus, the patron saint of the plague-stricken. Remember, these walls hold more than just stones – they're silent witnesses to the past, continuing their quiet vigil. Behind you, you can almost hear the soft melody of the organ, which has accompanied worshippers for centuries.
