Although significantly damaged by the Second World War, the old town retains some noteworthy original architecture: the Münster, complete with the world's tallest church tower; the riverside fishing quarter, home to 'das schiefes haus' (meaning 'crooked house'); and the renaissance town hall with its original facade.
