Peasants’ War Museum Kornmarktkirche
The former Franciscan monastery church "St. Crucis" is one of the most important preserved mendicant churches in Germany. Since 1975, it has been used as a museum as well as a concert and conference venue. A permanent exhibition informs about the time of the early reformation and the Peasants' War. Another exhibition focuses on the eventful building history of the former church. In addition, a monastery garden laid out according to medieval models and a lapidarium with components of historical buildings invite visitors to linger.
