The current Tauberbrücke was built in 1813 with originally four arches. Several construction phases are assumed, as the bridge has uneven crown heights and arch curvatures.

The Church of St. Markus in Distelhausen is among the most beautiful village churches in Baden's Franconia. After the predecessor of the church was completely destroyed by a lightning strike, the current St. Markus Church was built between 1731 and 1738 according to plans from the school of Balthasar Neumann. Between 1738 and 1750, the magnificent Rococo furnishings inside the church were created. The influence of Würzburg as the former artistic metropolis of this landscape is clearly evident in both the Baroque furnishings and the late Gothic individual figures.

Johann Simon Abendanz had the castle-like building in Distelhausen built as a manor house in 1758. It was a three-winged complex with a residential building and an outbuilding. After a fire in 1955, the east wing was demolished and not rebuilt. The residential building and the west wing are still present. Both are fully cellared.

I don't know if Distelhausen is supposed to be the highlight, or the bridge? In any case, the bridge is worth seeing and the brewery in Distelhausen has a nice and good beer garden.
