The current structure dates to 1100 and retains rare pre-reformation artwork that survived iconoclasm. Many of the colorful windows in the structure were designed by modern and post-modern artists like Augusto Giacometti or Sigmar Polke. One of the two soaring towers is still accessible to the public via a narrow medieval staircase.
A window by Sigmar Polke dating from 2009 made from fused agate slices.
The view from the top of the tower.
