This is where my husband grew up and where I feel quite at home after having a relationship with him for almost 12 years. This small town once was bigger and more important than Hamburg, I think in medieval times. In the 17th century, after the 30-years-war, it was unter Swedish administration. This baroque store building on the first pic is called "Schwedenspeicher", "Swedish warehouse."I don't know if we'll have time to go downtown. And if the weather allows a walk and taking pictures. At least I'd like to share the beauty of this place with you!

I would like to see it - what a beautiful town
I just love the look of that place! When we are on holiday (usually France) I always come back with zillions of pics of bits of architecture. This would be Paradise for me!.
The plan is to go to Alsace this year - a change of architecture and culture from last year in Provence. Hoping to get to Bern too - to the Paul Klee museum.
....might even slip across the border into Germany too ....
Send me an e-mail with your address, and I'll put one of my "bunting" pieces in the post as a Christmas Pressie for being a faithful follower!.

What gorgeous architecture! I love the facade of the building in the center of the 2nd pic.....almost looks like gingerbread!
Hope you are feeling better.
