The origins of the church point to the year 1220. Around this time work began on the construction of a massive west transept with two identical spiers. They were quite a bit taller and slimmer than those visible today. They were destroyed by a series of devastating city fires and were given their current form during reconstruction. The Gothic structure of the church with the beautiful tape measure works, two attached stair towers and a wonderfully structured display gable to the east has remained almost unchanged.

We continue and reach St. Mary's Church.
The origins date back to the 13th century. Opposite the town hall, the church is unfortunately closed today. We walk around the church once; at 57 meters long, it is a considerable size. The two different church towers, which have grown together to form a single unit, are particularly different, one made of wood, the other of stone.
