Beautiful! The details in the architecture is amazing. Everywhere you turn your eye, there is something to see. The stained glass detail is sublime - vibrant and detailed! There is a boat encapsulated in glass that is so small and the story behind the bishop building it is very interesting. Full story is provided beside the boat itself! Very baroque style building that reminds me of the ones I got to experience in Paris. Worth seeing.

Hours are wrong, came by two days in a row and the doors were closed an hour early. People plan their tours around town to visit this to beautiful building. And then show up to be turned away. This is my familys second year in a row trying to visit this church and we have failed to do so amd it messed up our days. Please update your hours :.

Nice place to pray and l spend time with the lord. Very peaceful.

Absolutely beautiful. What a great place to visit! Even if you're not Christian, the colors and thr architecture are amazing. There was a reverence inside the building which was breathtaking. The ceilings, the stained glass, all of it were amazing. I would love just to sit in there for a while and take it all in. Definetly a great place to stop while your walking around the town. Even if you choose not to go inside.
