A beautiful painting on a wall of the "new" cathedral, built in the 1300s;
on the ceiling of the old cathedral (most of which burned in the late 1200s, but some of which was saved; saints painted on the arch of the old cathedral, including the ever-popular European favorite, Saint Barbara, with her tower;
and the pagan temple, as described by European contemporaries, with the skins of animals and men hanging from the tree in the sacred grove (of course, this is a model!)
And a beautiful statement at a bowl of "holy water" in the old cathedral (it IS a Lutheran church, and they don't use holy water, but it serves that purpose here)
