The Jewish cemetery lies southwest of the town on a hill near the lake. It covers an area of over 6,000 square meters and was perhaps established around 1613. Approximately 200 gravestones remain.

The Wachhausbrunnen (guardhouse fountain) in the village, also called "Wachhäusla" in Franconian dialect. In earlier times, it housed the station of the local police and the night watchman, as well as the oldest prison in Franconia.
