- Stiftskirche - This iconic city landmark, a former cloister church, retains its Romanesque roots with Gothic influences, especially in the choir.

- Johanniskirche - Once the city’s parish church, it boasts 15th-century ceiling frescoes in the choir, while the Baroque altar was completed at the end of the 17th century. Also noteworthy is the 15th-century sandstone relief of Jörg von Ehenheims, a medieval knight.
