Got to love this cathedral even if you are not a church lover. And then the view from the towers is just amazing...in one side the roof tops and on the other side the view over the lake.
As cathedrals go this isn't the most spectacular that you will see. It isn't as big as many of Europe's leading cathedrals and it is quite simple in its design and architecture. The Chapel of the Maccabees is within the cathedral, just inside the front door to the cathedral and easily missed. The Chapel was the highlight of my visit....

I liked this catedhral because of the modest and peaceful atmosphere (so far from the roman-catholic pride and wealth). In fact - sitting in this splendid place gives you a moment of thinking over the priorities in the life. Nice, because so modest and friendly.

Nothing much to visit inside but going on the top of the tower on a sunny clear day is a most with an amazing view. Quite few steps to reach the top but the view is really amazing.
