The first chapel in honor of St. Michael was erected on this site in the 12th century. It burned down twice and was restored twice, but by the 15th century the church had fallen into disrepair and could not accommodate everyone. Therefore, in 1440 they began to build a new church in the Gothic style. In the 16th century, work was stopped and resumed after 1623, and construction was completed in 1828. This is such a long construction project. Therefore, the church turned out to be “pieces of different styles. ” It is very different from other churches in the city. Now the church storehouses contain a rich collection of various works of art, including sculptures and paintings by famous masters. We can say that we visited a museum. Admission is free, but it is only open 3 times a week from 2 to 5 p. m. So you have to try hard to get inside.
