Soest, one of the oldest cities in Westphalia, looks back on a rich history. It was mentioned as Sosat as early as the 8th century. Soest experienced its heyday in the Middle Ages as a member of the Hanseatic League, which promoted the city's trade and prosperity. The old town with its almost completely preserved medieval city wall, historic buildings and churches, including the imposing St. Patrokli Cathedral, bears witness to this bygone era. Today Soest is known for the annual All Saints' Market, one of the largest in Europe.
