Beautiful chapel with unusual, octagonal architecture. Unfortunately, you can't look inside, it's cordoned off.

A bridge typical for the area with bridge saints. Here we find as many as four: Kilian, the patron saint of the Franks, Nepomuk, who is almost unavoidable on Tauber bridges, Burkhard, the first bishop of Würzburg, and Michael, because it can certainly be an (arch)angel too. The bridge leads near Gerlachsheim over the Grünbach, which comes from Grünsfeld and flows into the Tauber not far from there.

The Obere Tor from 1494 was a watchtower outside the city with water gates. It was originally only surrounded by a rampart and palisades. These were replaced around 1630 and 1730 by walls that protected the "upper suburb", an "artificial village" outside the city, where peasant families were settled at the time of the Thirty Years' War.
