An impressive historic aqueduct tucked within Schwetzingen Palace Gardens. The stone arch structure and canal create a picturesque scene — look for the bridge and water channel running beneath the ancient arches.

The Protestant church in Epfenbach is the town's Reformed/Protestant parish church and belongs to the Kraichgau deanery of the Evangelical Church in Baden. It is considered the oldest church in Epfenbach and was rebuilt in 1836 according to the plans of architect Heinrich Hübsch, after an older predecessor building was demolished. The church does not have a specific patron saint or proper name such as "St. ...", but is simply referred to as the Protestant Church of Epfenbach.
