Garmisch-Partenkirchen: topics
One of the most attractive places for walking around the city is Ludwigstrasse, where historical buildings of various periods and styles are preserved. Here is one of the oldest parish churches in the city, which was partially destroyed during a violent fire in 1865. Immediately after the fire, the Gothic church in the Neo-Gothic style was completely restored and continues to please locals and tourists with its spectacular views to this day. In many historic houses today, there are attractive restaurants and souvenir shops. Also, there are several prestigious hotels on the historic street.
In the city, religious monuments worthy of attention, including the Chapel of St. Sebastian were preserved. It is located near the Lower Market. This chapel was built in 1637. The miniature church with a turret is a very unusual design. Its facade depicts figures of saints, which local artists maintain in perfect shape. In summer, the chapel is surrounded by dense thickets of trees.
In the immediate vicinity of the city, there are several ancient castles. The most interesting is the Ellmau Castle, built in the early 20th century. Today, a prestigious luxury hotel is located in the restored castle. Everyone can spend a few days in this historic building and enjoy its luxury. The castle has preserved a beautiful concert hall, in which, since 1957 till now, concerts of chamber music are regularly held.
