"Beautiful ancient church. I attended Mass in July 2025, which was at 10.30 am on Sunday. They have missals in the pews that contain the order of mass and the hymns. The organist was very good and the congregation was small but I felt as welcome as at any other church."
Andrew Wood
"The church is located in the middle of the old town. It was closed in the early evening so we couldn't get inside.
From outside building looks quite nice."
