Hessisch Lichtenau
Fantastic things:
Even today, the old city wall with its defence towers from the 14th century encircles the crooked alleys with half-timbered houses evoking the romantic, fairy-tale flair of the days of dukes and landgraves. The portly Old Town Hall from 1654 and the Gothic parish church from the 15th century dominate the aspect of the historic old town.
