"Today, the market square is the largest square in downtown Büdingen. But that wasn't always the case. Up until the time of the Thirty Years' War there was still a dam here that led Büdingen into the original old town and the new town that emerged from the mid-14th century The towns, which had previously been surrounded by their own walls, were only united after the demolition of the dam.

Steinernes Haus Büdingen

Highlight • Historical Site

The stone house is one of the most extraordinary buildings in the old town of Büdingen. The old town, with its numerous half-timbered houses, is absolutely worth seeing. The large frogs attached to the house facades are striking. They symbolize Büdingen's emblem and are painted in the colors of the partner cities.
