St. Anna Church Heidelberg (360° Video)

Saint Anne and Saint Roch

Not only large, magnificent churches and organs fascinate me, smaller churches with their smaller instruments also have their charm. In Heidelberg's old town there is St. Anna's Church, completed in 1717, which was originally a stipal church, i.e. it belonged to a poor hospital and hospital. The small baroque church has a splendid but modest-looking interior. The organ sounds almost fragile, the pipes look a bit shabby. The next to the cross above the altar are an angel and Saint Roch, a patron saint against the plague and other infectious diseases. That fits into a hospital church and also into the present day, unfortunately.
