A walk through centuries

It was shaped by the canonized imperial couple Heinrich and Kunigunde, repeatedly destroyed, and newly built in the 13th century. The clear architecture, the Romanesque-Gothic effect, and the strong presence of the site make the city tour a cultural enrichment with a special atmosphere.
