Greiti faktai: Sunlight pours through Marc Chagall's deep-blue and gold stained-glass panels, turning the nave into a shimmering tapestry that feels almost like walking inside a painting. Hidden historical quirks include the site's former role as a powerful convent with unusual civic privileges, a detail that surprises many visitors who only came for the windows.
Akcentai: Sunlight pours through Marc Chagall's five stained-glass windows, installed in 1970, turning the choir into pools of cobalt, ruby and emerald that trace fish-scale reflections across the stone floor. The place sits on a foundation laid in 853 by Louis the German for his daughter Hildegard, so you stand between medieval carved capitals and a flamboyant modern biblical sky, an unexpectedly joyful collision of centuries.
