The district gallery is located in the old hospital from 1349. Collection of paintings and sculptures. Temporary exhibitions are regularly shown on the ground floor. The museum café, very nice ambience, invites you to enjoy and linger. Very nice idyllic courtyard.

St. Sebastian Chapel (Spitalkirche), Mellrichstadt

Highlight • Religious Site

The Roman Catholic Chapel of St. Sebastian belonged to the former hospital of Mellrichstadt, a town in the Lower Franconian district of Rhön-Grabfeld in Bavaria. It is therefore also known as the Spitalkirche (Hospital Church) by the local population.[1] The listed building dates back to the mid-14th century. The Gothic hall church was built in 1356. It was altered in 1585 and 1612. A square, slate-covered turret with an eight-sided, bent roof rises from the gable-end façade of the nave. It houses the bell tower behind the sound arcades. The altar was erected in 1760. A wooden statue of St. Sebastian was carved around 1700.
