The origins of the hall church with polygonal chancel and large eastern roof turret probably lie in the 12th century.

A little insider tip is the juice bar. Here you can get delicious soft-serve ice cream 😋 and homemade hot chocolate. They also have other great things. The price/performance ratio is perfect.
