The heart of the old town is the Obermarkt with the town hall, crowned by three turrets. Like many of today's listed buildings, the structure has been repeatedly added to and altered: Construction began around 1300, it was extended to the south in 1432, the half-timbered construction with the three towers was added in 1532, and only around 1674 was the town hall completed with a baroque external staircase. Also on the Obermarkt stands the St. Cyriakus Church, popularly known as the "Eichsfelder Dom". The Catholic house of worship, with its rich inventory and two imposing towers, was built between 1240 and 1490. This makes it one of the oldest buildings in Duderstadt.

Half-timbered constructions and stylistic elements such as carvings and inscriptions from five centuries shape the cityscape. The rich decorations point to the medieval prosperity as a trading town.

The road is lined with apple, pear, and cherry trees. On Sundays and public holidays, the road is closed to normal traffic, and you'll only encounter bicycles.
