Feuchtwangen Old Town

Description

Worth seeing in Feuchtwangen is the historic old town with its marketplace that is described as 'Franconia's ballroom'. Also worthy of note is the former Benedictine monastery church with its Romanesque cloister, in which the craftsmen's workshops are housed. Also, a fair amount of the town's old wall still stands, dating from about 1400. Of the town's original three gates, only one, the Upper Gate, is still maintained. The Lower Gate had to make way for traffic in the 19th century, and the Spitaltor, or Hospital Gate, fell down after a fire.
