Oberpfarrkirchhof surrounds the Gothic- and later, neo-Gothic–styled Sylvestrikirche. Here you’ll also find the Gadenstedtsches Haus (1582) with its Renaissance oriel on the south side of the neighbourhood. To get here, follow the small Klint south from Marktplatz (the street on the right-hand side if you face the town hall) past some historic buildings.
