Stade is a historic town in the north of Germany, known for its rich history as well as its natural beauty. The old town of Stade is full of medieval half-timbered houses and narrow streets that invite you to take a walk. One of the most famous sights is the Old Town Hall from the 16th century, built in the Renaissance style, which now houses a museum. Another highlight is the St. Cosmae and Damiani Church, a 14th century Gothic church with impressive murals and a magnificent altar. For those interested in history, the Stadeum is also worth a visit, a cultural center with theater, concert hall and exhibitions.
