Most of the buildings in the center have survived since the 19th century, they were built in the style of Biedermeier, during the rebuilding of the city after the Turkish invasion. The projects of the architect Josef Kornhuizel, who bestowed this style on the city, gave Baden the second name - Biedermeierstadt
