For those with a penchant for history, a visit to the Bock Casemates, another UNESCO World Heritage Zone, is a must. These incredible underground tunnels, carved into the rock and used as refuge and protection during the Second World War, stand as a testament to human resilience. Today, they are open for tours, offering a unique and awe-inspiring experience.
Another must-see attraction is the Great Glass Elevator of the Pfaffenthal. This panoramic area, towering over 70 meters high, offers a breathtaking and dominant view of the old town and its surroundings. The thrill of the view, combined with the adventure of reaching it on foot or by bicycle, is sure to excite and inspire the adventurous spirit of every visitor.
For all those who want to go back in time by going to Notre Dame Cathedral, they will be amazed. Built-in the seventeenth century to serve the church of the Jesuit college, the cathedral has been transformed into a national library while preserving precious elements of its past, including the statue of the Virgin Mary or the crypt, where the remains of the former kings of Bohemia rest and which is guarded by two statues of lions.
If some people are willing to visit a cultural center, there is nothing better than Neumünster Abbey. This hub dates back to the 16th century and has undergone several metamorphoses over the following century. In particular, a new building was constructed after its demolition. It was then transformed into a prison, orphanage and Prussian barn before being used today as a cultural center dedicated to international meetings. ◄
