Waiblingen is a historic town with a historic layout and many buildings, mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Although the city is already mentioned in the 9th century and during the Middle Ages it was a significant trade and craft center, few buildings from that time have survived in its development. One of them is the Gothic Beinstein Gate, which in the past was located in the belt of the city walls.
The present buildings of the Old Town are the result of the reconstruction of the center after the destruction of the Thirty Years' War. At that time, almost all buildings were destroyed. In its place, picturesque half-timbered houses were built, which surround a small market square with the town hall building. Among the buildings, you can find historic churches, the church of St. Nicholas and the Church of St. Michael.
The museums here are also attractions in Waiblingen. The most important of these is the Stihl Gallery, which presents modern art. In turn, the history and culture of the City History Museum is devoted to.
