The Swedish column

by Diana75

Send Photo to a Friend

Going from the west gate towards the church entrance, we have passed a stone column.
The so-called Swedish Column is a reminder of the Swedish invasion that took place in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War.

It is said that at that moment in time one of the brothers was persecuted and killed for his beliefs by the enemy soldiers.
