Synagogue in Gudensberg

The Synagogue in Gudensberg is an Ashkenazi synagogue completed in 1843 by architect Albrecht Rosengarten. Since its construction, the synagogue was restored in 1925 and in 1995. In use until 1933, this stone synagogue in the Neo-Romanesque style now serves as a cultural centre.

Martinskirche

The Martinskirche was founded in the 14th century and consecrated in 1462. From 1524, when Landgrave Philipp converted to the Protestant faith, the church was Protestant. The cloister, which housed the city's Latin school from 1539-1776, was demolished in 1776-77 due to the threat of collapse. From the beginning of the 16th century until the end of the 18th century, the landgraves of Hesse were buried here.
