Hillesheim - Culture and Sightseeing

Culture and Sightseeing

The town is one of the few European Model Towns and its renovation works are therefore subsidized by the town’s urban development promotion programme. There is a mediaeval town centre partly surrounded by a town wall and with a church worth seeing for its Baroque organ from 1772, built by the famous Stumm family, annually attracting talented international organists. Hillesheim’s municipal area is almost round. From the historical town centre, the town broadened out in all directions, growing from its location in the valley through new building developments up to the surrounding slopes.
