    From the Pfarrer-Durmann-Straße you come to the massive Romanesque (early medieval) gate of the former church fortress Königsfeld. Parts of the Romanesque defensive wall are still preserved. The cuboid part of the tower of the today's church St. Jakobus (= own highlight) is also an early building from that time.

      The church is inconspicuous from the outside, but beautiful inside.

        The complex with its ivy-covered gate, lanterns, statues and buildings exudes medieval nostalgia.
