The historic makeup of the town, with its many monumental buildings ranging from the 11th to 18th centuries – a synthesis of medieval churches and Baroque townhouses and palaces – preserves architectural motifs that influenced the whole of Europe. Architecture in Bamberg served as a model from central Germany to Hungary, and shows up a close relationship with Bohemia in the Baroque period. The historical fabric of the old town in Bamberg remains generally intact, with over 1000 buildings listed as protected monuments.
