Another set of pictures from the weekend (sorry, if you are waiting for the west coast!). We went to see some landmarks at the open landmark day, an annual chance to see interesting places in your area that are usually not open/free.
This year, we decided to go to Schmölln, a small city in eastern Thuringia. We started with the Ernst-Agnes-Tower which was built originally in 1893, to get a nice view on the city.
Apparently, Schmölln is almost 950 years old.
Perfect day for a fish eye:
On we went to see the market and the old city hall:
View from the balcony on the market...
... and the church
The church was nice, quite plain and modest:
And with a renovated organ:
Fortunately, the organist was there to talk about the organ and tell some stories. That was probably the most interesting part of the day...
The cockpit...
... and the pipes. We even had a chance to have a look at the insides of the organ, with the big pipes for the bass...
... and the small ones for the highs.
Finally, a view into the church from above:
