In the heart of Waischenfeld, a stone's throw from the historic Wiesent bridge, at Marktplatz 3 you'll find a true monument of Franconian milling history: the Wehrl city mill. The impressive structure captivates visitors primarily with its technical masterpiece – the mill houses one of the largest undershot water wheels in the entire Franconian Switzerland, which turns tirelessly and loudly in the waters of the Wiesent. The history of the house is inextricably linked to the Wehrl family, in whose proud possession the estate has been since 1698. Even a fire disaster in 1948, which destroyed the building down to its foundations, could not break the tradition: already the following year, the mill was rebuilt in its current, stately form. After grain from the surrounding area was diligently milled here until 2007, the historic water power today serves clean electricity generation for the region. An absolutely photogenic stop on any city tour, perfectly combining history and modernity.

The marketplace of Waischenfeld, officially named Bischof-Nausea-Platz today, forms the historical and social heart of the state-recognized climatic health resort in the Wiesenttal valley. Characterized by well-preserved Franconian half-timbered houses, the area reflects over 700 years of town history. The square extends across the valley floor directly below the striking Jura cliffs and the medieval Waischenfeld Castle with its famous round tower, the "Steinerner Beutel". As a central hub, it houses important municipal facilities such as the town hall and the tourist information office in the historic Baderhaus, and also serves as a backdrop for traditional markets and town festivals. Furthermore, the square functions as an ideal starting point for the historical city tour and the short panorama trail.
