Market Church St Cosmas And Damian by Kathrin_E
The main parish church of the town is situated next to the market square and the town hall in the axis of the latter. The church was built as a smaller copy of the collegiate church ("Dom") below the imperial palace. Just like there, the political and the religious centre are combined and related. The church's two unequal steeples are the highest in town and are a prominent spot in the townscape.
The Romanesque church was enlarged in the late middle ages, the gothic choir and the outer side naves added. Inside, note the 13th century stained glass windows, the painted pulpit with biblical scenes, the 16th century baptismal font and the wood-carved altar from 1659.
The church is open in the daytime. The Northern steeple can be climbed (daily 11:00-17:00).
