Medieval architecture

by german_eagle - last update: Jun 29, 2003

Alcove at Schönhof/town hall's tower
This travelogue is about medieval architecture in Görlitz' old town.

Here a snapshot of the Schönhof (see my "must see" tip) and the tower of the town hall. An interesting perspective I thought. :-)
Schönhof
Schönhof again. The photo was taken from the staircase of the town hall. Can you see the shadow to the left? It's the statue of Justizia.
vaulted ceiling
The Patrician houses in the old town are well preserved. Don't hesitate to enter them if the door is open to explore the fascinating architecture inside. Here a vaulted ceiling in one of the old houses on Untermarkt square.
Untermarkt
The Untermarkt square preserved its medieval atmosphere perfectly. The trader's houses, partly with arcades, are well preserved.
Untermarkt
The drug store to the right has a beautifully decorated/painted facade, hasn't it?
Untermarkt
A romantic place on the Untermarkt square.
Renaissance facade
Brüderstrasse leads from the Obermarkt to Untermarkt square. Splendid Patrician houses to both sides, some with spectacular portals.
alley near St. Peter and Paul church
Another charming alley in the old town. Just stroll through the city and explore!

 Excellent page! I really liked Görlitz but unfortunately the churches were closed by the time we actually had time to visit them. We obviously walked too long in Poland, haha.

 Ingo, I just had to recheck your fabulous page. We have been here on Saturday and really loved it. Especially the Whisper Portal is amazing. The Karstadt is now a Hertie. Afterwards we even went to Zittau for dinner.
