Late Gothic church with early baroque high altar and baroque organ ...
This little church is located right next to the famous Augustinian Canons, also called "Island Cathedral". While the cathedral was reserved for the Augustinian canons, this church was built for the lay people of the monastery parish. It is built in the late Gothic style and was consecrated in 1469. It was rebuilt in the years 1630-32, the early Baroque high altar (1632) and the coffered ceiling with panel paintings from the life of the Virgin can also be attributed to this period. A baroque organ from 1668 is also located in the church. On the facade there are coats of arms of provosts of the Augustinian canons.

The church was built for the lay people of the monastery parish. The late Gothic building was consecrated in 1469, and between 1630 and 1632 it was rebuilt and refurbished. The early baroque high altar (1632) and the coffered ceiling with panel paintings from the life of the Virgin Mary date from this period.

The church also houses a valuable baroque organ from 1668. On the outer facade there are coats of arms of provosts of the Augustinian canons.

Late Gothic church with an early baroque high altar and baroque organ, which is idyllically located next to the former Augustinian monastery. While its church was only intended for religious men, services were held here for everyone else.
