373 - Postcard from Germany (Thanks Nordbaer)
Bad Urach possesses a late-medieval marketplace with a city hall and half-timbered
houses that date from the 15th and 16th centuries.
The Residenzschloss (Castle Residence), the residential home of the Counts of Württemberg-Urach where Eberhard the Bearded was born, contains rooms that date from the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. The Goldener Saal (Golden Hall), one of Germany's loveliest Renaissance rooms, is particularly worth a visit.
The Church of Saint Amandus dates from 1477 and was built in the Gothic style for Eberhard the Bearded. His lavish praying desk dates from 1472. The pulpit is decorated with figures of the saints and church fathers and is considered an important piece of German stonemasonry. The 1518 baptismal font is by the sculptor Christoph von Urach.
Also of interest are the ruins of the old castle (Schloss Hohenurach) and the waterfall (Uracher Wasserfall) on the hiking trail up to it. The "round mountain" ("Runder Berg"), a former vulcano, is of archeological interest and shows an old Alemanni castle.

Cologne Cathedral
Begun in 1248, the construction of this Gothic
masterpiece took place in several
stages and was not completed until 1880. Over
seven centuries, successive builders were
inspired by the same faith and a
spirit of absolute fidelity to the original plans.
Apart from its exceptional
intrinsic value and the artistic masterpieces it contains,
Cologne Cathedral
testifies to the enduring strength of European Christianity.
