Church of St. Michael

About

Ranking among the city's major landmarks is the Lutheran church of St. Michael. Built in the early 17th century, the church continues to signify strength after having gone through a series of destructive instances: lightning in 1661, fire in 1906, and the two World Wars. Thanks to a couple of renovations, the tower now holds out sweeping views of the city, and still manages to play host to a 300-year old tradition of a trumpet player, playing hymns, facing all directions.
