Stoudtburg Village - it was an idea that was inspired from the 16th century walled city of Rothenburg in Germany.  The village is comprised of 60 Bavarian style homes and 30 shops featuring colorfully painted Old World-style buildings with German style trim, high peaked roofs and antique styled lighting throughout the village providing a medieval village look.

There is an arched tower entrance to the village, a tranquil village pond, cobblestone streets and Marktplatz, complete with a large ornate, tiled fountain and a quiet seating area surrounding a beautifully landscaped alcove complete with the sounds of German music.  For a moment you might think you had traveled all the way to Germany, to a charming old world village in Bavaria.  The village has a charm unlike any other in the area.  You can see the inspiration of those faraway medieval European towns with every step you take at StoudtburgVillage.
