Sightseeing Tours in Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe1. Russian orthodox all Saints Church
The Russian Chapel is the Russian Orthodox All Saints' Church in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe. The church was designed by the St. Petersburg architect Leonti Benois (1856–1928), the grandfather of Peter Ustinov, on the initiative of the Russian State Councillor Alexei J. Provorov, and was built between 1896 and 1899 under the direction of Louis Jacobi (1836–1910) on the Kaiser-Friedrich-Promenade in the southern part of the Bad Homburg Kurpark. Previously, there was a graduation tower on this site of the spa gardens, which is now located in Bad Nauheim.
2. Römerkastell Altes Jagdhaus
The small fort Altes Jagdhaus was a Roman military camp on the western Taunus route (route 3) of the Upper Germanic Limes, which was awarded the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. The ground monument, which is still very well visible in the terrain above ground, is located southeast of Arnoldshain-Hegewiese, a district of the municipality of Schmitten im Taunus in the Hessian Hochtaunuskreis. The current name derives from a hunting lodge built inside the castle in the 16th century.
3. Kriegerdenkmal 1870/71
The war memorial of the city of Bad Homburg commemorates the five Homburg soldiers who died in the German-French War of 1870/1871. It was designed by the master builder Christian Holler and executed by the sculptor Jacob Mey. The ceremonial unveiling took place on May 10, 1875. The local warriors' association, which had been founded on the occasion of the city's first Sedan celebration, acted as the benefactor.
4. Kleinkastell Heidenstock
The small fort Heidenstock was a Roman military camp that was built on the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on its course through the Hoher Taunus natural area. The fortification is located about five kilometres southwest of the Saalburg fort in a wooded and uninhabited exclave of the Bad Homburg district of Ober-Eschbach in the Hessian Hochtaunuskreis.
5. Erlöserkirche
The Church of the Redeemer of Bad Homburg belongs to the Protestant Church in Germany. Finished in 1908, the building is outwardly of a heavy, Romanesque Revival appearance, while its interior is in a neo-Byzantine style, with rich marble wall decorations and gold mosaics covering the domed ceiling, leading to the church sometimes being called 'Bad Homburg's Hagia Sophia'.
