    The church’s original 1579 stone façade is worth a quick look before you head inside. Once inside, the 16th century iconostasis gives a good sense of the interior layout, then the side chapel shows the early pulpit. Right beside the church is a small Dutch style gatehouse you can glance at. If you have a few minutes after that, the nearby St. Joseph’s Church on the same street is another quick 17th century spot worth a quick look. Afterward you could stop by Hotel Aida for a coffee before continuing your drive.
