The Municipal House, or "The People's House" on the right and on the left is the Powder Tower. The Powder Tower was built in 1475 and got it's name because it was used to store ammunition during the 30 Years War, it also is one of 13 gates that served as entry ways to the city.
Above: The Church of St. James
Below: A real hand. Seriously! Apparently a thief once tried to take the jewels off the sacred Virgin Mary statue, but she grabbed it and wouldn't let go, so naturally it had to be cut off. A nice momento and reminder to other potential thieves.
