O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: The church houses an impressive collection of over 100,000 metal ex-votos, one of the largest in Europe. Its name comes from the dark color of its walls, the result of smoke from historical fires and pollution centuries ago.
Zajímavosti: A special feature is its facade covered by an inscription in Gothic German that invites reflection, visible only from a specific point near the entrance. Inside, the Baroque organ with 4,000 pipes offers concerts filling the church with deep and resonant sounds.
Insider tipy
- Wear comfortable shoes for the uneven floor inside the church.
- Photograph the facade from the northeast corner to capture the Gothic inscriptions.
- Avoid midday hours to escape the largest number of tourists.
- Take advantage of the organ concerts for a unique experience that not everyone knows about.
