As a town with over 1,000 years of history, Brilon has a lot to offer. The town hall as a guild hall, the Derker Tor as a monument to the town's defenses or the market square with the Kump - Brilon's history leaves impressive traces. The Brilon Heritage Society preserves the stories of the townspeople to this day, passes them on and offers visitors to the town an exciting journey through the centuries. The Provost's Church, for example, stands as a symbol of the granting of the town charter in the Middle Ages. The former Minorite monastery bears witness to the Counter-Reformation more than 300 years ago. And the old farmhouses in the historic town center are impressive testimonies to everyday life for the citizens of the four quarters of Brilon. Guests of all ages experience history where it happened and in the form of an exciting narrative by members of the town guide guild.
