After visiting the antiquities library, we went back into the town centre and found the Goldapfel Lebkuchen museum and store. The building is old, a multi-generation business, and over the scores of years many things were saved and are now displayed, from family portraits to carved cookie moulds, to odds and ends of period decor.
After wending ones way through the exhibits, one ends up in the delightful scents of the spicy filled cookies and cherry liqueurs. We did take a bag full home with us; how could we not.
