Traveler reviews
D. P.
★★★★★4 months ago2 eur for entrance ticket to the church, definitely worth every cent! From the outside it looks like any other church,but then you walk through the door and enter to a completely different world of beauty. Just magnificent. The photos just don't make justice compared to what you see with your own eyes.
Elias Lageder
★★★★★2 months agoA truly beautiful church with a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. The architecture is stunning, and the interior is filled with impressive details that are worth taking the time to admire. The sense of history and tranquility makes this a special place to visit, whether for prayer, reflection, or simply to appreciate its beauty. Well maintained and full of character, it is definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area. Highly recommended!
