The old town is under monument and ensemble protection. The Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, the multitude of fountains and the magnificent floral decorations enchant guests and locals alike.

Very worth seeing town. Winding streets, a number of places to stop for refreshments paired with medieval flair. In general, Wangen has a very good infrastructure.

Historic Town Hall, Wangen im Allgäu
The oldest building stock of the town hall dates back to the Staufer period as part of the first town fortifications. In the 15th century the house was rebuilt several times and expanded in the direction of the market square. All eras – from Romanesque to Gothic to Baroque – have left their mark in the representative historical council hall. As a historical treasure, it also contains the city view by Johann Andreas Rauch from 1611 and the small wedding room in the priest's tower above the town hall. Worth seeing are the baroque staircase with the land plaque by Johann Andreas Rauch from 1617 and the small wedding room in the priest's tower above the town hall. In 1721 the town hall received the baroque facade facing the market square. The front to the lower town retained its late Gothic character. The facade painting there was restored according to findings. The last renovation with expansion of the new council hall on the top floor (former emergency store for bread grain) took place from 1980 to 1983.

Wangen weekly market, Wangen im Allgäu
Tradition for over 850 years
The weekly market in Wangen has existed since 1150 and is still an institution in town life more than 850 years later. More than 70 stalls line the streets and squares in the old town every Wednesday morning. They almost seem to bend under fruits, vegetables, flowers, plants, fish, meat, cheese, spices, basketry, brushes and many other products. Farmers and traders come to Wangen from the Allgäu, from Lake Constance and from Upper Swabia.
Stroll along Herrenstraße past lush fruit stands, admire the colorful splendor of the flowers on the market square. Smell the scent of fresh apples in the town hall between the town hall and the Mesmerhaus and enjoy the colorful selection of Mediterranean and local delicacies on the Postplatz.
So there is a lot going on and there is still time for a chat! Enjoy your breakfast in one of the numerous cafés in the old town, immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle, the happy atmosphere and experience an unforgettable vacation day.
The traditional weekly market takes place every Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the heart of the historic old town.
