History

The church is in one of the round bastions of the castle, it is the oldest part of the castle. It was built in the 13th century and it was the original church of the castle dedicated to St. Michael. It is a two-story structure. There is an ossuary in the basement and a chapel on the ground floor. The chapel was built in the 14th century in Romanesque style and it has Gothic frescos. The ossuary served as an armory for some time. The small church was consecrated again in 1731, but only as a chapel dedicated to St. Andrew.
