DE - NORTH-RHINE-WESTPHALIA: Picturesque village of Freudenberg
The "Alter Flecken" is Freudenberg's downtown core, built wholly of half-timbered houses. It gives the impression of a small town from the 17th century. The Alter Flecken was included in the Kulturatlas des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen (Cultural Atlas of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia) as a "Building monument of international importance". The Evangelical church, after Freudenberg got its own parish in 1585, was built as a "fortress church" (ie with architecture somewhat reminiscent of a military fortification). The belltower is the only one of the former castle's towers still left standing. The prim and proper seeming town has served as a location for many films.
