Kurhaus
by Leipzig
The Kurhaus is one of the town's most beautiful buildings. It was originally a 'Promenade House', a place where the cultured and elegant came to see and be seen. Between 1821-24, Baden's director of civic construction, Friedrich Weinbrenner, turned it into a 'Conversation House', a place for more formal gatherings and events. The right wing of the Kurhaus contains the Baden-Baden Casino.
Lichtenthal Abbey
by Kathrin_E
Lichtenthal Abbey is a Cistercian monastery which was founded by Irmengard von Baden, the widow of Marggrave Hermann V., in 1245 and has uninterruptedly been inhabitated by nuns ever since to this very day.
Those who are familiar with German history may note this fact with astonishment. No, the monastery was not affected by the secularization of 1803/1806 because the nuns were and are still running a school, which was considered a useful activity for society, and because they guard the graves of many members of the house of Baden in the princes' chapel.
Since the monastery is still active all visitors can enter on their own is the forecourt, the book and art shop and the church.
Three times a week (Wed, Sat, Sun 3 p.m.) guided tours take visitors into the Fürstenkapelle (princes' chapel) where the graves are and into the little museum.
BADEN-BADEN, Germany
by CJD68
Made a short stop in Baden-Baden to check out the fweel-known hot spring spas and explore the town. The spa was open to walk through and we learned a bit about the history of the hot springs. The town is small, but nicely maintained.
