- the late Middle Ages
- the Biedermeier period (1830-1860) with late neoclassical plaster buildings
- the so-called Gründerzeit (since around 1875)
with its historic residential and commercial buildings
The center of the old town is the market square with the Donop fountain.
Detmold's oldest church, the Church of the Redeemer, and the neoclassical town hall dominate this square. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, the colorful and popular weekly market exudes an almost Mediterranean atmosphere.
