Christmas market of Schlitz, Hesse, with the world's largest Christmas candle in the background

Every year four weeks before Christmas, the town of Schlitz creates the largest Christmas candle by wrapping the tower of Hinterburg Castle in red cloth and installing a metal structure resembling a flame on top. The Christmas market is set up on the market square of the old town, which is made up of half-timbered houses dating back to renaissance and medieval times and gives a particularly cozy atmosphere.

Despite its smal size of less than 10,000 residents, Schlitz features no less than four castles within the medieval town walls, all dating from renaissance to baroque times.
