The collegiate church, to which the twin towers belonged, is said to have been consecrated in 1172 in the presence of Frederick Barbarossa and Udo of Naumburg. The documents proving this, however, have proven to be forgeries.[1] The church was built in the Romanesque style from 1165 to 1172 out of bricks.[3] The wooden roof trusses of the towers date from 1336.[1] The collegiate church had a bad reputation among the reformers and was dissolved in 1543.[2] Just a few decades later, the nave had fallen into disrepair, but the west tower remained intact. In 1618, the north tower received its baroque roof.[2] The city took over the buildings after the monastery was dissolved and set up a school in them in 1665. 20 years later, the towers were converted into a prison and served as such for 200 years.[1] At the beginning of the 17th century, the nave was rebuilt and from 1669 to 1671[1] a widows' and orphans' home was set up in it. The building took on its current form in the 19th century: in 1810[1] it was rebuilt after a fire and in the middle of the century a half-timbered building was added. It was used as a prison and workhouse. The master builder Friedrich Sprenger carried out extensive repairs to the tower complex from 1871 to 1873[1] and removed some extensions. During the GDR era, a museum for medieval craftsmanship was located in the Red Tips until 1972. In June 2013, a permanent exhibition on the building opened, so that it can now be visited regularly again.

Beautiful castle, formerly the residence of Münchhausen, now a youth hostel.

They are the remains of a former monastery. It was built around 1172. They are the symbol of Altenburg.

The fortified hilltop castle was built to protect Franconian and Saxon settlements from the 12th to the 13th century. There was an outer bailey with a gate and a core castle. The rare double keep and parts of the ring wall are still there. The castle has not been inhabited since 1456. During the Thirty Years' War (1618-48) it was renovated by the lord of the Sahlis manor, Hans Löser I, to provide protection for the residents of Kohren and the surrounding area. The owner is now the town of Frohburg. Source:https://www.tourismusverein-borna-kohrenerland.de/fileadmin/user_upload/flyer-geschichtsverein_2020-05_web.pdf
