St. Vitus Parish Church, Veitshöchheim
Highlight • Religious Site
A Romanesque church was built on the same site around 1200 and was protected by St. Vitus (Veit), whose name passed to the place. The tower has been preserved from this building.
The nave was replaced at the end of the 17th century by a rectangular hall church with a Gothic choir and representative facade. The portal front shows forms of the Roman Baroque.
The rich baroque furnishings include the high altar with the altarpiece of the St. Vitus Martyrdom, two side altars, pulpit, baptismal font and other figures of saints.
The church was built by the Würzburg prince-bishop Johann Gottfried von Guttenberg, whose coat of arms is placed above the main portal. At about the same time he had started the construction of Veitshöchheim Castle. The funds were provided by the St. Stephen's Monastery, to whose lands Veitshöchheim belonged until the secularization of 1803. St. Vitus was consecrated on July 17, 1691.

Kavaliersbau / Town Hall
Highlight • Historical Site
There was space in this building for cavaliers, for court chaplain and court medicus. A secret chancellery, a knight's room and a dining room were also located here.
From 1902 to 1968 the rooms were used as dormitories, teaching rooms and classrooms by the Bavarian State Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture. The Kavaliersbau on Erwin-Vornberger-Platz has been the town hall of the Veitshöchheim community since 1972.
