München/Berlin 1999 Sightseeing Buildings Liebfrauenkirche – (1286 to 1380), a Gothic building in the style of Marburg's Elisabethkirche), which was utterly burnt out in the Great Fire of 1476. Former hospital church – Built 1513–15. This church has one nave and a wooden vault from 1865. Inside is a pulpit from the 17th century. Former St. Georgenberg Monastery – (several building phases from 1249 to the 17th century) Today the former Cistercian Monastery houses, among other things, the district local history museum. The 10-towered town hall (1509) – Between the Upper and Lower Markets. The first town hall was torn down in 1421 to make way for the forerunner to today's town hall. This second town hall already had ten towers representing the ten guilds in the town. The current building is a reconstruction of that second town hall, which burnt down in the Great Fire of 1476. Steinhaus ("Stone House") – Pferdemarkt 20. Built about 1240, it is likely the town's oldest secular building, having come out of the Great Fire of 1476 unscathed. During renovation work (1975–77), the inside was thoroughly gutted and the Gothic stepped gable was rebuilt according to comparable models elsewhere. Inside, the remains of a great kitchen hearth have been preserved. Residential buildings – Thanks to renovations since the 1970s, hardly any closed streetscapes have been kept. Especially fine is the group of buildings at Pferdemarkt 10–16. Parts of them, however, were drastically renovated between 1979 and 1986. Individually, several others are worth mentioning: Geismarer Straße 3 – Half-timbered building from the 16th century with mediaeval stonework. Neue Gasse 5 – Half-timbered building from about 1500, restored 1978–1979. Neustädter Straße 35 – Three-storey house with gable facing the street from 17th century with corner oriel, restored 1977. The basement has been destroyed by storage fixtures. Steingasse 1 (Herboldsches Haus) – Three-storey building with corner oriel. The eaves on the right side is fouled considerably by newer building work. Steingasse 17 – One of the town's oldest half-timbered buildings. Restored 1983. Ritterstraße 6-8 – built about 1520. Altes Brauhaus ("Old Brewhouse") – Massive two-storey house with eaves
