Korte feiten: Two huge frescoes decorate the walls, one depicting scenes from the life of Jesus, while the other shines down on visitors from the ceiling. The church is a unique blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles, which is rare in the region.
Hoogtepunten: An interesting fact is that the frescoes on the walls are over 700 years old and tell stories of the past with their original vibrant colors. Under one of the frescoes hides an old statue, believed by locals to bring good luck.
