A modern church that has nevertheless retained its own unique charm. The Schönstatt Center also houses a shop selling religious items, and refreshments are offered in the café at certain times.

The Bronnmühle is now run by the Gleiser family, now in its fourth generation, and is located directly on the Neckar Valley Cycle Path. In 1987, it was one of the first mills in Baden-Württemberg to begin processing the typical Swabian spelt grain. Today, the mill also offers a café serving coffee and cake. Tours of the mill are also available by prior arrangement for groups of 10 or more people.

Until 1779, the Jewish community of Baisingen buried its dead in the Jewish cemetery in Mühringen. However, a separate cemetery had already been established in 1778, northwest of the village on Galgenweg. The local lord, Anton Schenk von Stauffenberg, had donated the area at the edge of the forest to the Jews as a cemetery. Today, the cemetery still contains 405 gravestones, known as matzevot. In 1948, a memorial stone for the Baisingen Jews murdered during the Nazi era was erected to the left of the entrance. It was donated by Harry Kahn, who had returned from exile.

This chapel of thanksgiving, dedicated to the Mother of God, was built in 1946 from stones from the former Eutingen military airfield. The forest chapel is a popular destination, not only for the Christians of Baisingen.

The synagogue in Baisingen is one of the best-preserved rural synagogues in Germany. Today, it serves as a memorial and museum and is maintained by a support association. Jews lived in Baisingen as early as 1596. Some families lived here for many generations – until the terrible extermination of the Jewish community during the Nazi era. The synagogue in Judengässle, built in 1784, was devastated by SA men during Kristallnacht on November 10, 1938. Subsequently, the building was used as a barn; today, it houses a museum. The concept of the memorial, which opened in 1998, aims to "make the entire history visible." The building was not intended to be restored to its original state. Rather, all important traces of its history were to be preserved: the interior with its paintings, the marks in the plaster of the walls from the benches torn out by the SA men, the hole that was created in the middle of the west gallery and in the dome when the stove and its chimney were overturned, the barn door from the time of agricultural use, without which the synagogue would probably have been demolished.
