Churches & Museums

Our museums provide an insight into the history and tradition but also modern life of our region. In numerous exhibitions, you can also gain an insight and examine their works of local artists.

Our churches and chapels, on the other hand, are places of peace and quiet contemplation. Besides their occasionally eventful history they offer impressive architecture and the possibility to pause.
