A
Chapel of St James & St Michael's Church
At the top of the Lővér Hills, is St Michael's Church (Szent Mihály-templom). Behind St Michael's Church to the south is the little Romanesque-Gothic Chapel of St James (Szent Jakab-kápolna), the oldest structure in Sopron and originally an ossuary. Not much escaped the Stornos' handiwork when they 'renovated' St Michael's - they even added the spire. Check out the lovely polychrome Stations of the Cross (1892) in the churchyard and the large number of tombstones with German family names.

B
Goat Church
On the south side of the Firewatch Tower is the old Goat Church, whose name comes from the heraldic animal of its chief benefactor. The church was originally built in the late 13th century, but many additions and improvements have been made over the centuries. The interior is now mostly baroque, though the red marble pulpit in the centre of the south aisle dates from the 15th century.
