The Church on the Hill (Bergkirche)
This beautiful Gothic church dominates the hill at the southern end of the citadel. It can be reached by climbing the 175 steps of the covered wooden Schoolboys' Stairs which dates from 1642. The building of the church started in 1345 and ended in 1525, 180 years later. Huge pillars carry a lofty gothic ceiling (restored after an earthquake in 1838). The church was completely painted on the inside but in 1776 it was decided to destroy the old painting provided that exact copies should be made on parchment. Unfortunately the copies were lost. The recent restoration brought out fragments of the late 15th century frescoes. Inside the church there are also beautiful religious sculptures and paintings like the pulpit carved in 1480, an old stone front dating from the 15th century as well as shrines brought from the churches of Saes and Cund. The church has been recently restored. ( All 3D trees model by KangaroOz )
