Attendorn, Medieval Hanseatic city in Kreis Olpe, Germany

Located at an elevation of 260 meters, Attendorn extends across 97 square kilometers of wooded terrain within the Naturpark Ebbegebirge region.

The city received its first official mention in 1072 when Archbishop Anno of Cologne granted rights to an estate within its boundaries.

The St. John the Baptist Cathedral exhibits architectural elements from different periods, featuring a Romanesque tower alongside its Gothic nave.

Hotel zur Post provides 52 beds distributed among single rooms, double rooms, suites, and holiday apartments in the center of the old town.

During Easter celebrations, the local tradition of Semmelsegnen involves a ceremonial blessing of special bread accompanied by community gatherings.
