Bad Frankenhausen, Spa town in Kyffhäuserkreis, Germany.
The municipality extends across 65 square kilometers at the southern slope of the Kyffhäuser mountain range, along an artificial branch of the Wipper river.
The settlement received town privileges in 1282 and witnessed the decisive Battle of Frankenhausen during the German Peasants' War in May 1525.
The Panorama Museum houses a monumental painting completed in 1987, depicting over 3000 figures related to the German Peasants' War events.
The Kyffhäuser Thermal Baths provide saltwater pools heated to 35 degrees Celsius, extensive sauna areas, and therapeutic facilities for visitors.
The Church of Our Lady contains Germany's second most tilted tower, with its top deviating 4.60 meters from vertical due to ground subsidence.
