Eutin Old Town & Market Square
Eutin Altstadt, Marktplatz
The historic centre of Eutin, the 'Weimar of the North', with low red-brick houses around a market square, and St. Michael's Church beside the castle.
In the 18th century, Eutin was the court seat of the prince-bishops and gathered artists and writers such as the painter Tischbein and the poet Voss, earning it the nickname 'the Weimar of the North'. The composer Weber was also born here. The Old Town centres on the market square, surrounded by low red-brick houses, cafés and the 13th-century St. Michael's Church. The castle and the lakeside are only a few minutes' walk away. On Saturday mornings the square hosts a market. It is about 10 minutes on foot from Eutin station, and it can be combined with the castle and castle garden for a half-day visit.
