Stopped in for a quick visit on Sunday, Nov. 19. It was about 10 minutes before the 10:00am service began. I stood in the back and minded my business. Didn’t take pictures, didn’t walk around or disturb anyone, just said a silent prayer and left before the service began. There was a very angry woman at the front entrance (who was passing out pamphlets) with black hair and short in height. About 60 years old or so. She told me 3 times when I was leaving, in perfect English, that visitors are not allowed. When I told her I am visiting from out of country and just wanted to say a quick prayer, she rudely stated that “this is a Protestant church!”, whatever that means. So I guess Protestants don’t pray? Anyways, she is incredibly rude and if she wants to volunteer in that beautiful building, she should volunteer in the basement, because she is completely disrespectful and rude and obviously doesn’t understand how to treat fellow Christians. Shameful behaviour. I wonder how many other tourists she has snapped at. This is the only church in Europe that made me feel unwanted. I did stop back in later the same day and Albrecht was an absolute gentleman. He even gave me a little tour. Thank you Albrecht, I really appreciated you being so kind and welcoming me with a smile.

Amazing architecture donimates this church in the heart of town. While not very large, the church is beautiful to look at around sunset. (Unfortunately closed and not able to visit the inside.)

A great church to pop into. While the interior is a little diminished from the modern makeover- stage gear, glass panels, etc. It still features some incredible historical artifacts. Various statues line the walls. The church also features wonderful stained glass, and a massive pipe organ. Unfortunately I was not there for mass so I cannot comment on the acoustic qualities, however I'm sure they are impressive like most European churches.
