Climb its tower to get an impressive view across the town and region. Dinkelsbühl also boasts a castle with a Rococo chapel, and the timbered building Deutsches Haus, which was the ancestral home of the Counts of Drechsel-Deufstetten. This is an excellent example of German Renaissance-style wood architecture. The history museum is also worth a visit.
