Church of the Holy Cross

The Church of the Holy Cross features a two-story western facade with portal sculptures of Saint Sebastian and Saint Clement at 28 meters height.

Originally established in 1129 as a Premonstratensian monastery, the current church structure was built between 1723 and 1730 on Roman foundations.

The church interior holds eight altars, including the main altar created by Melchior Paulus in 1730, displaying religious artistry of Baden-Württemberg.

Located along the Tauber Valley Cycle Path, the church remains open for visitors and maintains regular religious services throughout the week.

The church bells include five bronze specimens cast between 1952 and 1957, plus a small baptismal bell dating from the 14th century.
