Guided Story
Imagine walking through halls filled with stories. Just to your left is the towering Abdinghof Church, watching over the city for centuries. Did you know that even though the City Museum is relatively new, it holds treasures that capture the rich past of the region? One of the most fascinating finds here is a medieval manuscript from Paderborn's scriptorium, taking you back to the times of monks and scholars. And if you're lucky, you might catch one of the interactive displays that bring the city's history into the modern age. Behind you, in the shadows of old buildings, you can almost feel the past come to life. Before you move on, why not take a quick detour to the Mariensäule? It's close by and has its own tale to tell.
