Monheim Castle

Highlight • Castle

Monheim Castle appears rather unassuming, but behind its history lies a serious scandal. The building was expanded in its current form in 1806 under the regional judge Count Johann Adam von Reisach. He had the left wing of the castle extended and added a private courtroom. This renovation was primarily driven by a conspicuous desire for self-promotion. The project is alleged to have been illegally financed with proceeds from court cases.

Monheim Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

A beautiful former monastery church, now the town's parish church. The former Benedictine convent was founded in 870. In 893, Monheim acquired the relics of Saint Walburga. Soon after, Monheim became one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Europe. The current building dates from the late Gothic period. The year 1509 is inscribed on the north portal of the church. The interior is decorated in the Baroque style. The vault was constructed in its present form in 1596.

Monheim Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Monheim's elongated market square reveals that the important trade route between Nuremberg and Augsburg once ran through here. The square is framed by historic city gates, which were built around 1340 along with the city wall. The carefully restored buildings of the old town recall a time when Monheim boasted numerous inns, horse-changing stations, and breweries. The town hall is also among the most striking buildings in the town center.
