View from above the narthex
Stiftskirche St. Arnual interior (Saarbrücken, Germany – July 2024)
Unless you are an organist, you probably haven’t seen this view. I’m no organist, but on this day the organist was out on a smoke break or something when we wandered in. The stairs to the organ gallery were wide open, without any signs indicating that admittance was prohibited, so we headed up for the view. Shortly after we descended to explore the rest of the church the organist returned and played for the duration of our stay. It was a rather magical experience for it to just be us and the music.
