Today, it houses the tourist information office, the local history museum, and the fishing exhibition. Not far from the castle complex, the Toy Museum in Villa Pusteblume welcomes its guests. Old toys and mechanical musical instruments are lovingly collected and displayed here. Next to the historic market square, the Gothic St. Mary’s Church, built in the 14th century, also tells the story of the town.
