Gothic building of a Franciscan monastery. Founded in the middle of the 13th century. The oldest document mentioning the monastery is from 1272. In 1528, after secularization, the monastery was dissolved and the monks moved to Limburg. Everything was demolished except for the monks' home. The most beautiful view is from outside the city walls
