Places of interest

Giengen's most famous landmark is the town church (Stadtkirche), with its two contrasting towers. The Blasturm (trumpet tower), once part of the town's fortifications, was built in a renaissance style, whereas the Glockenturm (bell tower) is baroque. The contrast between the two towers was retained when the church was rebuilt after a major fire in 1634.
The observation tower on Schiessberg hill in Giengen is a favourite destination for walkers and children alike. Construction of this 15-metre tower began in 1902; Italian construction workers provided the labour. In the tower's walls, a record of the cost of the tower and the names of its sponsors is set in stone.
