Although heavily industrialized in the 18th century, Saarbrucken still reveals some of the most interesting parts of its impressive history of over 1000 years: Wonderful baroque buildings, a special and very enjoyable Old Town and many more.
See the Basilica St Johann, a perfect example of 18th-century Baroque beauty. The highlights of this church are the bronze portal, the entrance area and its very famous 4312 pipes organ. Pass the local City Hall, a very impressive neo-Gothic building dominated by its 54-meter tower, from which the carillon sounds daily, designed by the same architect that created the town halls in Munich and Wiesbaden. Take a look at Saarbrucken Castle, first mentioned in the year 999 under the name “Castellum Sarabrucca”.
