Vereins Kirche


The city's Vereins Kirche was the original town church, meeting hall and school. The tiny building anchoring the town square – the Marktplatz – contains archival photos and historical artifacts that can be interesting for history buffs and, if you're lucky, you'll get a great docent who will really bring the stories to life.
