Why Bad Windsheim?

The Freilandmuseum, the historic old town or the town museums invite visitors on excursions into the past. There is much to discover on a stroll through the old town with its numerous streets and squares.
Directly next to the old town with its baroque town hall and St. Kilian’s Church, the Bad Windsheim spa quarter has grown over the past decades. The first medicinal spring was discovered here over a hundred years ago. Today Bad Windsheim has two natural remedies: brine and healing water.
