Some 30km/20mi northeast of Hanau, on the southern fringe of the Vogelsberg, is the little town of Büdingen (pop. 18,000).
There are still considerable stretches of the old town walls (15th-16th C.), with round towers, on the north and west sides of the town. In the Marktplatz is the Late Gothic Old Town Hall, with the Heuson Museum (history and folk traditions of the region); in this area too there are many old half-timbered buildings. To the southeast is the 15th century Marienkirche (St Mary's Church).
In the nearby village of Grossendorf is the Remigiuskirche, one of the oldest churches in Germany, dating back in part to Ottonian and Salian times.
