Traveler reviews
Henry
★★★★★4 weeks agoIt is a unique look at what was and still is a beautiful church building. With an intriguing alteration due to the bombings during the war. Inside is a small museum display on details of the buildings history. It's free to enter and worth the visit in my opinion. The adjoining tower was basically veiled in construction so I could not enjoy that. But the church itself is still worth it.
Dimitri Damian
★★★★★3 months agoWorth the money. It is a beautiful church. You get a guided tour through a headset. if you want to see the top view...have a good stamina. It is quit a climb.
