  • Schlosskirche, Klosterstrasse. The twin onion-domed, baroque Schlosskirche was built between 1695 and 1701 by the Christian Thumb.
  • Schulmuseum, Friedrichstrasse 14. This museum traces the development of education between 1850 (when classes were taught by monks and nuns), and 1930 (when education was the responsibility of the German state)
