Main Canal at Volkach
Highlight • River
The 35 m wide canal, built between 1950 and 1957, branches off from the Main above the Volkach weir and runs 6 km in a southerly direction. Below the lock and hydroelectric power station in Gerlachshausen, it rejoins the natural course of the Main. The Main Canal is accompanied by state road 2271 and the Main Valley Cycle Path.
The construction of the Main Canal created the artificial wine island with the wine towns of Nordheim and Sommerach. The Altmain, which is navigable for small vessels, flows around the wine island over a distance of 12 km.

The area around the church is one of the settlement cores of the town. A church building dedicated to St. George has been documented as early as the 12th century. However, this chapel was not the parish church of the place. This was located on the nearby Kirchberg with the pilgrimage church Maria im Weingarten. In 1335, the early mass was endowed for the first time in the town church.[1] The 14th century brought the elevation to a parish church. .....

Volkach Town Hall
Highlight • Monument
The architecture is influenced by the Renaissance. The town hall has three floors and a steep gable roof. A double flight of open staircase is above the pointed arched gateway. A half-timbered bay window crowns the building. At the rear, there is a stair tower. A major renovation in 1972 transformed the building and adapted it to the needs of the administration. The interior contains several oil paintings. Official portraits of the Würzburg prince-bishops can be found here.
