At the heart of the city with its fantastic baroque tower, the church of St. George marks the center parish of St. George.

The pillar of St. Mary and the statue of the Virgin that crowns the pillar made of red marble stone is a central figure in the old town. It was made in 1674 in honor of the St. Mary as the patron saint of Bavaria. The inspiration for it was the pillar of St. Mary found in the city center of Munich. On each of its corners kneels a saint.

The old prision of Freising was once in the ground level of the old city hall. In 1663 the "Oswald-Huberische House“ was bought by the city and transformed into the city's court. During the court cases against child-witchcraft of Freising, in the 18th century, it became known as the "witch tower". Later in the 19th century and with the secularization of Bavaria, it became a civil court in 1802, after which it was used as the court's prison until 1965.

The Cathedral of Freising was originally constructed in romanesque style and is the co-cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. It's also known as the place where Pope Benedict XVI was ordained a priest. It was built in the 12th and 13th century after the previous church was destroyed in a fire. It houses the tomb of St. Corbinian, the patron saint of the bishopric, located in the four-nave crypt of the cathedral. The rococo interior was a work of Cosmas Damian Asam and Egid Quirin Asam, famous for the Asam Church of Munich.
