The "Priesterhäuser" (Priests' Houses) are among the oldest surviving urban residential buildings in Germany and initially served the clergy of St. Mary's Church, later serving church servants and teachers, including Schumann's first piano teacher. Today, they house a museum offering insights into the city's cultural history through a permanent exhibition and special exhibitions.

Based on archaeological evidence, it was proven that the oldest house was built around 1264. The four houses today form the oldest surviving residential complex in Saxony. It houses a museum.
