Soest, District capital in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The old town features numerous limestone buildings with a characteristic lime green color, alongside medieval churches with tall spires throughout the streets.
During the Middle Ages, Soest grew into the largest town in Westphalia with 10,000 inhabitants and maintained strong connections within the Hanseatic League until 1609.
The Allerheiligenkirmes fair transforms the old town into Europe's largest indoor festival, continuing a tradition that started 685 years ago.
The South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences campus in Soest provides engineering and business administration programs for both German and international students.
The Norwegian Þiðrekssaga manuscript from the 13th century names Soest, referred to as Susat, as the capital of Attila's Hunnic Empire.
