Neunkirchen a.Brand: Market, Museum and Outdoor Pool

Neunkirchen a.Brand offers a variety of experiences for a trip: the historic market square with its buildings, the Felix Müller Museum in the former tithe barn, and an outdoor pool with other leisure activities. Culture and leisure sit side by side here. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay, these differences can help you decide what to focus on during your trip: architectural history, exhibitions or leisure at the outdoor pool.

Historic Market Square and Buildings

The historic market square is lined with half-timbered houses. There are also four well-preserved gatehouses and sections of the town wall. These features reveal different aspects of the townscape: half-timbering as a defining characteristic of the houses, individual gatehouses and preserved sections of the wall. Those interested in architectural history will find more than just one type of building here; each of the features mentioned can be explored on its own.

The parish church and chapter house are part of a former Augustinian Canons’ monastery complex. The former Baroque administrative building dates from 1734. The town hall is designed in the Baroque style; its market coat of arms dates from 1444. The dates offer two specific points of comparison: 1444 for the market coat of arms, and 1734 for the administrative building. The Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre lies at the foot of Gugelberg.

Museum and Exhibitions

The Felix Müller Museum is on the first floor of the historic tithe barn in Neunkirchen a.Brand. Special exhibitions are held regularly at the museum; individual exhibitions may change. The museum’s location is thus paired with an exhibition program that may vary between visits. If a particular special exhibition is a deciding factor for your trip, check the dates in advance.

Outdoor Pool and Swimming Activities

The outdoor pool offers a range of ways to enjoy your visit, with a large pool, a children’s pool and a sunbathing lawn. Facilities also include a kiosk, a swing and a basketball court. The offerings therefore encompass swimming, space to sunbathe and other leisure activities. As facilities may change, check the latest information about the outdoor pool before your visit.

The Neunkirchen a. Brand local branch of the water rescue service offers swimming courses and training.
