Town Hall of Horn-Bad Meinberg

Highlight • Monument

The historic old town core is really very historic ... you could say mouse dead. It's a shame actually. It must have been pretty here once.

It was decorated with candles, fairy lights and a small fire. There were also a few at the top of the platform. At around half past seven in …
