Die weitgehend erhaltene mittelalterliche Stadtstruktur ist von Fachwerkhäusern geprägt, unter denen sich einige Beispiele für den Stil der Weserrenaissance befinden. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die St.-Kiliani-Kirche aus den Jahren um 1100, das Wahrzeichen der Hansestadt Höxter, die Marienkirche von 1283, der früheste gotische Bau in Westfalen und bis 1804 Teil eines Minoritenklosters, das Küsterhaus von 1565, das Adam-und-Eva-Haus von 1571 in der Stummrigestraße, das 1613 ebenfalls im Stil der Weserrenaissance erbaute Rathaus sowie die alte Dechanei von 1561 auf dem Marktplatz; dort sind über 60 geschnitzte Halbrosetten zu bewundern, die sich alle voneinander unterscheiden. Die Dechanei war ein Adelssitz der Familie von Amelunxen.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
