    The archway, called "the guard port", was always the meeting point of the youth. Heavily damaged by American tanks, it was renewed in 1948.
    In the old days, the old people used to sit on a log on the town hall stairs in the evenings, which they called the “cutting bench” and tell stories. In front of the archway at the fork in the road is the holy house "St. Margaretha". Mentioned and renovated as early as 1712, it had to be demolished in 1933, badly damaged, and rebuilt further back.

    In Filsen you can still admire some beautiful half-timbered houses like this guard port
