Altstadt, Medieval old town in Büdingen, Germany.

The fortified old town stretches over two kilometers with 22 defensive towers, massive stone walls, and numerous half-timbered buildings from different centuries.

The settlement developed around the moated castle of House Ysenburg, leading to the construction of new fortifications in the early 14th century.

The Jerusalem Gate, castle museum, Heuson Museum, and butcher's museum present regional heritage through exhibitions and historical artifacts.

The Tourist Information office at Marktplatz 9 provides guided tours, maps, and assistance for exploring the medieval quarter and its fortifications.

The old town features the Church of Our Lady, decorated with medieval paintings, alongside a functioning butcher's museum displaying traditional meat processing methods.
