Guided Story

Look up at the battlements of the tower. Imagine guards standing here centuries ago, watching over the city. To your left, in the distance, you can see the Evangelische Stadtkirche. Its spires rise majestically, a testament to the city's long history. Did you know this tower was a strategic point during the Middle Ages? Behind you, slightly to the right, you might spot the Spitalkapelle, another gem of this historic town. Close your eyes and listen to the wind. You might almost hear the bustling and calls from a medieval market. The best time to be here? Definitely sunset, when everything is bathed in a golden glow.
