May 26, 2026, Greek Orthodox Church of Saints Constantine and Helena, Künzelsau

The Greek Orthodox Church of Saints Constantine and Helena is a quiet, impressive spot on the slope of Künzelsau. With its striking architecture, it stands out clearly from the surrounding buildings and brings a touch of Mediterranean flair to the Kochertal valley.

The Wartberg Tower is one of the prominent viewpoints above Künzelsau and rewards every ascent with a wide view over the Kochertal. Even if the tower itself is not always open, the way up is always worth it.

The Wertwiesenpark is a green, spacious oasis directly on the Kocher river and an ideal starting or ending point for tours around Künzelsau. The well-maintained paths, large meadows, and the quiet riverside location make it a relaxed place to take a breath.

The Church of Saints Constantine and Helena in Künzelsau, built in the Neo-Romanesque style at the beginning of the 20th century, was originally a Catholic church. After the new St. Paul's Church was built, the building was handed over to the Greek Orthodox community, who redesigned it for their own liturgical purposes.
