Tower
The temple tower is 60 m tall. Sandstone was used as a building material. Inside the tower, there is a winding stairwell with approximately 180 stairs, leading to a belfry and the gallery with the view on the entire town and surrounding. In the belfry, there are two bells, each approximately 60 cm tall.
Presently, the temple goes under minor amendments, however the church services and tours are not disrupted. Tours to the tower are allowed.
