Interesting work of art on the Saale cycle path, directly on the Saxon Saale river.

St. Mary's Church in Hof is an architectural landmark of the old town. After the Reformation, Hof was almost exclusively Protestant for centuries. It was only with its annexation by Bavaria in 1810 and the influx of Catholic officials and workers from Bohemia and the Franconian Forest that a Catholic community was re-established. The growing number of parishioners led to the construction of St. Mary's Church between 1864 and 1877, based on plans by the Regensburg Cathedral architect Vincenz Denzinger. It was built on the site of the former inn "Zur goldenen Sonne" (At the Golden Sun) – the present-day Sonnenplatz (Sun Square) still commemorates this. The church is built in the Neo-Gothic style and, with its artistic unity, forms an imposing conclusion to the old town. Its furnishings are entirely Neo-Gothic and are listed as historical monuments, including the romantic mechanical cone-valve organ. The Steinmeyer organ from 1885 complements the furnishings and underscores the church's musical tradition. St. Mary's is the main Catholic church in Upper Franconia and belongs to the northeasternmost deanery of the Archdiocese of Bamberg. It is also a memorial to Bernhard Lichtenberg, the Blessed Provost of the Cathedral and a martyr under National Socialism. After the opening of the border in 1989, the church once again became a place of cultural exchange with Catholic communities in Plauen and Weida. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Marien_(Hof)

Originally dedicated as a chapel to the Archangel Michael, the Holy Cross, and Mary Magdalene, St. Michael's Church in Hof was built around 1230, following the founding of the city and in connection with the expansion of the new town. In 1536, St. Michael's was chosen as the main Protestant church in the wake of the Reformation. Cannonballs embedded in the central chancel window and the north tower still serve as reminders of a siege lasting several weeks in 1553, during which the church was heavily bombarded. St. Michael's Church boasts a surprisingly spacious interior. For structural reasons, the Gothic net vaulting was replaced with a wooden structure after the great Hof city fire of 1823, which also destroyed large parts of the church. The organ, built by the Heidenreich brothers, is the largest surviving instrument of this family of organ builders, who have been based in Hof since 1782, and largely adheres to the design principles of Gottfried Silbermann. The Heidenreich organ is considered by experts to be one of the most beautiful-sounding in Bavaria and can be heard not only during church services but also at concerts and market devotions. The church is closed, but the key can be obtained from the deanery at Maxplatz 6. https://www.fichtelgebirge.bayern/detail/id=60925637b3b9c342377478eb

At Oberer Torplatz 1 was the location of Germany's oldest printing house, the Mintzel printing works. Printing in Hof began as early as the 16th century. In 1642, Johann Albrecht Mintzel came to Hof, having founded a printing house in Leipzig in 1625. The Mintzel family operated a printing house, a book publishing house, and, from 1802, a newspaper publishing house in Hof. The last Mintzel died in 1840; his widow married her manager, Carl Hoermann, in 1844, whose descendants ran the business until very recently. https://saechsisch-bayerisches-staedtenetz.de/dokument/Stadtspaziergang_Hof_1480354153_3090.pdf

The water lily fountain in front of St. Mary's Church in Hof is a relatively recent addition to the townscape. Erected in 1987, it blends remarkably harmoniously into its historic surroundings. With its clean lines and three-dimensional water lily leaves, it acts as a tranquil oasis within the urban fabric. The fountain invites visitors to linger: the gentle lapping of the water creates a relaxed atmosphere that enlivens the square without overwhelming it. Its striking contrast with the Gothic architecture of St. Mary's Church lends it a unique effect – a modern element that complements, rather than disrupts, the historic setting. http://www.schwabenmedia.de/Bauwerke/Bayern/Hof-seerosenbrunnen.php?style=styleB
