Lich, Medieval town in Gießen district, Germany.
Lich is a town in the Gießen district characterized by timber-framed and stone buildings from different periods clustered together in the center. The town area spreads across rolling landscapes between mountain ranges on either side.
The settlement first appears in a document from the late 8th century, but gained real importance around 500 years later through special imperial rights. This development made it an independent town with local governance.
The main church in the center is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and displays religious artworks collected over centuries within its spaces. People use this place regularly as a gathering point and focal center of their community.
The center with its historic buildings is densely packed and easy to explore on foot, allowing time to observe the different building styles. Visitors find small shops, cafes, and local restaurants throughout town that invite you to linger.
A brewery in town has produced beer for over 150 years using traditional methods and shows visitors through regular tours how the craft works. This production is deeply connected to the place's identity and has provided local jobs across generations.
