Schiltach

Market place

This is the heart of Schiltach, and it has remained unchanged in this form since the last big town fire in 1791. The steep incline and the three-sided shape of the market place give a feeling of spaciousness. The closely spaced timber framed buildings form an encapsulated picturesque scene. The Museum Am Markt and the Pharmacy Museum are interesting attractions.The whole medieval inner city is under monument protection. The marketplace includes the town hall, which was designed by architect Heinrich Schickhardt and built during the Kingdom of Württemberg. There are many half-timber houses scattered throughout the town that date back to anywhere between the 16th and 19th centuries. Schiltach is part of the German Half-Timbered House Road tourist route.
