Our Saturday outing this week took us to Wertheim. We planned to be there at 11:00 for an organ concert before taking a look around this charming town. Every week a concert is performed here, from Easter until October.
This large yellow church, the Collegiate Church, a Lutheran parish that dates all the way back to 1384, was first built in 1383/84. It was gothic and beautiful inside (re-done, in 2007 to look like it once did). It was filled with locals, there for beautiful music. The walls inside were light, with pinkish sandstone arches and the ceiling had beautiful floral patterns painted on it. It felt feminine and it was really beautiful. We were told that daily services have taken place here since 1419!
The concert featured a Bach piece and 3 others and it lasted about 45 min. After that we asked the locals to direct us to the best place to start the walking path on the map John picked up at an info place by where he parked the car (he dropped me off at the church). I love these little towns with walking path maps, so we know where we’re going and we don’t miss anything.
We came back later, after some wandering to see more of the church.

I think this ceiling is spectacular!
After the concert, we spent a few hours seeing this fascinating little town that sits between the confluence of the Main and Tauber rivers.
