Is nice.
Seen similar, but then I have been to Rome and sundry Catholic churches in Europe. Not being swanky, just saying. It is very Germanic though (reminds me of Delftware, although that's over the border)

Imagine the affect on the parishioners when the whole place was lit by candelight, at a time when many still used rush candles. Or even in bright sunlight when windows at home were small and leaded. It would have been a blaze of colour and gilt. Glorious.
