Stift Haug
The first large Baroque church in Franconia, with striking twin towers and a dome. Its altar features Tintoretto's Crucifixion.
Stift Haug was designed by Italian architect Antonio Petrini and completed between 1670 and 1691. It is the earliest large Baroque church in Franconia, and its silhouette of twin towers and central dome is clearly visible from the fortress. It was rebuilt after World War II and has a fairly plain interior, with Tintoretto's Crucifixion hanging over the high altar. Located between the train station and the old town, it is free to visit and an easy stop along the way.
