This beautiful church with two towers was built in a style that combines Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque at the same time. The towers contain 8 bells weighing from 700 kg to 5 tons each. And another attraction of the church is a huge organ, decorated with ornaments, consisting of 2826 pipes. In addition, the organ has a machine that imitates the sound of rain, thunder, hail. Sounds amazing!
