Saale Gate, Kahla

Highlight • Historical Site

It is the only remaining gate of the city fortifications. Its original appearance has been altered by subsequent renovations. It also houses the oldest stone depiction of Kahla's city coat of arms. Kahla is one of the few cities to feature a female dragon slayer in its coat of arms. Margaret, a martyr and Christian saint, is depicted in a victorious battle with the dragon (Satan). The coat of arms can be found in several places throughout the city.

Kahla Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Kahla, located at the foot of Leuchtenburg, is a small town with 1100 years of eventful history. Worth seeing is the old town center with the almost completely preserved city wall, the Saalewehr and the restored Ackerbürgerhäusern.

St. Margaret's Church (Kahla Town Church)

Highlight • Religious Site

The town church, with its distinctive 66-meter tower, dominates the townscape. The church's namesake is also the town's patron saint. Formerly a castle, the old town and the church now stand on a roughly 700-meter-long sandstone plateau that rises approximately 25 meters above the Saale River.

It's a great place to linger. 👍 Good food and sophisticated drinks. There's a beer garden in the summer. There's a barbecue on Fridays.
