Pedestrian gate to the market square

Highlight • Monument

In the east of the old town is the Hattersdorf Gate. It is the highest of the three towers in the old town. In summer, the Hattersdorf Gate Tower can be climbed. From the top you have a very beautiful view of the old town and the surrounding area of Seßlach.

Hattersdorfer Gate Tower

Highlight • Monument

Seßlach is has a beautiful old town, which is still completely surrounded by a city wall. This city is closed to traffic on weekends. There are well-kept seats in the great outdoors

Former old school building

Highlight • Historical Site

In the past, teachers and pastors were often closely linked in their roles and prestige, as they were among the most important dignitaries in a place, exercising authority and shaping public life. These two professions were often combined in one person, as pastors frequently also worked as teachers, especially in rural communities.
And so, here too, the former school is located right next to the church, no wonder.

Kommunbrauhaus Seßlach

Highlight • Pub

The master brewer is employed by the city of Seßlach and is responsible for the so-called "Kommunbräu" (communal brewery).
His personal territory – the Kommunbrauhaus (Maximiliansplatz 105) at the lower end of Pfarrgasse – was built in 1892 and later renovated in 1960 and 1997/1988. It is one of the last breweries of its kind. Approximately 40 batches are brewed annually. Of these, around 40% go to the local inns Gasthof Reinwand and Landgasthof ROTER OCHSE Seßlach, and approximately 60% to private individuals.

Untermerzbach Castle

Highlight • Castle

Untermerzbach was first mentioned in a document in 1232, when "Mercebach" was parished to Ebern. In 1369 Lutz von Rotenhan received three tenths. Under Kunz II von Rotenhan, Untermerzbach became Protestant in 1534. In 1675 Georg Wolf von Rotenhan returned to the Catholic Church. Untermerzbach Castle, which was remodeled in the early classicist style in the second half of the 18th century, belonged to the Counts of Rotenhan until they died out in 1886.

All rights of the Bishopric of Bamberg with the Abbey of Langheim, the Barons of Greiffenclau and the Counts of Rotenhan fell to Bavaria between 1803 and 1806. In the course of border adjustments, the place was ceded to the Grand Duchy of Würzburg in 1810 and finally came to Bavaria in 1814/16. In the district of Gereuth is the former prince-bishop's country palace of the same name, which came into the possession of the Freiherren Hirsch auf Gereuth in 1815 in the course of secularization (until 1859).

Innere Rodach Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Next to the church is the old schoolhouse.
This is not surprising, as in the past, the priest was often also the village teacher. In many parishes, the priest was the sole contact for education. He was responsible not only for the spiritual care of the parish, but also for the education of the children, often referred to as preceptor or schoolmaster. This role of the priest as teacher was widespread until the 18th century, before specialized teachers and schools developed. Next to the church is the old schoolhouse.
