Very beautiful castle, but the German Agricultural Museum is also super interesting. In various places in the town, you can visit the knight's estate, the farmstead, the bakery, etc. with interiors and be transported to the era.

A fairly large church, visible from far away. It's a good place to orient yourself while cycling.
