    Church of Peace

    Approaching the church, the impressive 42-meter-high free-standing bell tower catches the eye. I particularly like the beautiful inner courtyard with the statue of Christ. Only a replica stands here today. The original by Bertel Thorwaldsen can be seen in Copenhagen's Frauenkirche. The figure is standing on a well with a saying on the rim that translates as "Cleanse yourself from sins and not just your face".
