The old town of Füssen
You should definitely not miss this
The "Hohes Schloss" (Castle)
The “Hohes Schloss” (Castle) towers high above the town of Füssen. It was once the summer residence of the prince-bishops of Augsburg.
Today it houses the branch gallery of the Bavarian State Gallery and the Municipal Gallery of Paintings. The “Hohes Schloss” (Castle) in Füssen is one of the most important secular buildings of the German late Gothic period and is not only a sight to behold with its interior rooms and halls: unique illusion paintings can be discovered in the courtyard.
The former Benedictine monastery of St. Mang
The baroque complex of the former Benedictine monastery of St. Mang rises magnificently on the high banks of the Lech, which is one of the select group of "nationally valuable cultural monuments" declared by the German government. Its history dates back to the 8th century, when the town's patron saint Magnus founded a monastic cell on this site as a missionary. The architect Johann Jakob Herkomer finally gave the irregularly grown monastery complex a coherent appearance. Today, the former monastery houses the museum of the town of Füssen, the town administration and the parish church of St. Mang.
The Franciscan monastery with a view of the Quaglios
Don't miss the view of the rooftops of Füssen from Franziskanerplatz in front of the monastery, which reflects the old order of the estates: At the top, the High Castle as a symbol of secular power, below it the former St. Mang monastery as the spiritual center. At the foot of the imposing buildings are the town houses. The view is called Quaglio View after the Italian painter and master builder Domenico Quaglio, who painted this panorama in the 19th century.
