Rathaus und Flammenengel

The Town Hall designed by architect Denis Boniver has stood as a symbol of the high point of reconstruction after the Second World War since it was completed in 1959. The elevated platform with outside steps and the glazed bay window by the old main entrance are typical features of buildings constructed in the 1950s.

Annakirche

The devastating air raid carried out by the British Air Force on 16 November 1944 almost completely destroyed the Gothic St. Anne’s Church, including its steeple that measured in at just under 100 metres tall.

Holzstraße

Holzstraße is home to several heritage-protected buildings. Although the air raid on 16 November 1944 destroyed huge areas of the town centre, some houses on Holzstraße managed to survive this attack virtually unscathed.

Stadtmauer

The first mention of it as an urban settlement dates back to the 12th century. This is also the time when construction of the town's fortifications began, which were extended and secured until the early 18th century. Remains of this ring of walls and towers have been preserved to this day as architectural witnesses of past centuries.

Schloss Burgau

The main building of Burgau Castle has an eventful past. Having been originally built at the start of the 14th century by the Counts von Heinsberg and assigned to the fiefdom of Wilhelm von Burgau, the picturesque moated castle has since had quite a makeover.
