Guided Story

Can you hear the church bells ringing? Look southeast, where the magnificent Walloon-Dutch Church stands tall. This church isn't just an architectural marvel; it's a testament to Hanau's rich history. Imagine the refugees from Wallonia and the Netherlands who found sanctuary here in the 16th century, breathing life into this square with their hopes and dreams. Behind you to the north, you might spot the Brothers Grimm National Monument. It’s a reminder that Hanau is not only steeped in history but also in the magic of fairy tales. And if you listen closely, the wind might just whisper a story from days gone by.
