Landmarks

The town has most of its medieval walls intact, and a small museum in the 'spittalkirche', a medieval monastery-cum-hospice, which served pilgrims and the old and infirm. The museum has objects from Aub's past, and exhibits about caring for the elderly through the centuries (all in German). Aub is the second smallest city in Bavaria.
