The unfinished building – the completion of the church has been suspended since the Thirty Years' War. As can be seen, attempts to continue building in the 18th century did not bring the desired success either. But it is still a highlight.

The ruins of the Church of St. Sixti tower south-east of the Gotthard pond. Founded in 1045, it became a collegiate church in 1327. The reconstruction of the nave in the late Gothic style, begun in the 16th century, was not completed. St. Sixti has been a ruin since the Thirty Years' War. The Romanesque tower was converted into a water tower in 1888/89.

The tower was built in the 11th century in the Romanesque style, the nave was begun in the Gothic style, but never completed, since the destruction in the Thirty Years' War were very strong. The tower was used as a water tower until almost the end of the 19th century.
