Very beautiful church with a nice alter and stained glass windows. Just a great place to stop at if you're going through. Looks beautiful from the outside too. More

Technically, I did not visit the actual church itself--except for the downstairs. Our group stayed at the former dormitories where you can stay for the weekend, I think only as groups though. They have really nice accomodations, and wonderful, comfortable beds! Showers are only for each floor, but that didn't matter much to me. No wireless, but again, doesn't matter... More
