ST. GEORGE’S CHURCH 
This Roman Catholic round church from the Romanesque period from the 12th century in the district of St. Georgen was formerly the chapel of St. Georgen Castle. The frescoes are well restored and represent the rare illustration of Saint Kummernus from the 17th Century.

Legend has it that she was a king’s daughter from the Iberian peninsula. She had taken a vow to stay a virgin. However, her father, the king, wanted her to marry. In this difficult situation, she prayed she would grow a beard, so to disguise her face.

Her prayer was answered, but her father got her thrown into the dungeon and nailed to a cross. The only remain from the former St. Georgen fortress is the keep, which is known today as the ’Uhlentower’. The round church of St. Georgen is open for tours on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
