The main building at the square is the huge Georgenkirche (George Church), Markt. It dates back to 1180, but most of the current church, with three levels of galleries, and the tower are Baroque. Johan Sebastian Bach was baptized here on March 23, 1685 and several of his family members were the organists here, a position the great composer never held in his hometown. Opening hours are daily from 10 am to noon and 2 to 4 pm.
