New Braunfels founded in 1845 on Comal River by German settlers led by Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels is now the seat of the Comal County.
Built in 1898 and designed by architect J. Riely Gordon, the courthouse is an excellent example of Romanesque Revival design. Its plan is based upon the Greek cross.

Built in 1875 and renovated in 1955, it is another example of a Gothic Revival church.
Standing on "Lustiger Strumpf" (Happy Stocking) Hill, this catholic church, first built in 1871, had to be rebuilt followin a storm in 1881.
Address: 386 N. Castell
First known as the Travelers Hotel, this inn was completed in 1929 and renamed "The Faust" in 1936.
It is an example of Spanish Colonial Revival design. I was not really impressed by the building itself except for the ornate terra cotta decorative work.
During the 1940s, the Faust is said to have been a favored spot among servicemen stationed in San Antonio and became informally known as the "Honeymoon Hotel."
