Church on the Hill

Built in Gothic style, Church on the Hill dominates the hill at the southern end of the citadel. The building of the church started in 1345 and ended in 1525, 180 years later. The church was recently restored, it had been completely painted on the inside, 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 back fragments of the late 15th century frescoes. They look so fragile, lost as they are in a sea of white paint. Also inside the church there are beautiful religious sculptures and paintings like the pulpit carved in 1480, an old stone holy water front dating from the 15th century as well as shrines brought from the churches of Saes and Cund.
