This church was build in the 16th century on a high hill in the middle of the village. It is surrounded by three rings of walls. To reach the church you have to climb a beautiful covered staircase, where you'll also have to buy your ticket. Being a Lutheran church, the building is mostly empty, but the altarpiece, the pulpit and the vault are beautiful.

Yes, this snail was inside the fortress. Nobody knows how and what reason he had to enter, but he was never discovered up to date. :)
