Baroque Within Reach: Discover the Maria Hilf Mountain Church
This extraordinary city tour takes you to the pilgrimage church Maria Hilf high above the rooftops of Amberg. In about 90 minutes, a discovery experience unfolds from High Baroque, architecture, and art – a cultural enrichment with history to touch.
Experience High Baroque: Space, Light, Painting
From the front row, you can admire the clear architectural language of Wolfgang Dientzenhofer: harmonious proportions, a light-filled spatial dramaturgy, and fine details of church architecture. Frescoes and fittings refer to the work of Cosmas Damian Asam – a total work of art that shapes Amberg's cultural heritage.
