St. Stephan's Church is a Gothic-style church that has become a pilgrimage site for art lovers, thanks to its breathtaking stained-glass windows created by Marc Chagall. The windows, installed between 1978 and 1985, bathe the interior in a mesmerizing blue light, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere. The church also features a beautiful choir and a peaceful cloister. Visitors can sit in the pews and admire the interplay of light and color, or attend a service to experience the windows in a spiritual context. The church is a harmonious blend of medieval architecture and modern art.
