An imposing Romanesque church from the 12th century, unfortunately it was already closed at the end of October. The cemetery contains old graves with impressive tombstones.

Located in the heart of the Pyrmont Forest, the Sennhütte with its monument to Emperor Frederick III is a lovely, stylish place to stop for a bite to eat.

The observation tower belonging to the original Schell-Pyrmont Castle was built in 1824 by the sovereign Prince Georg Friedrich of Waldeck-Pyrmont and is thus one of the oldest observation towers in a spa town.
