The ensemble within the 14th and 15th century fortification ring developed from the earliest mention of the present settlement around 800. The town parish church of St. Kilian was founded centrally within it even before 1007. In 1130, the settlement received market rights, a good 250 years later full jurisdiction. From 1422, the town's fortifications were built. In 1473, the town burned down, including the parish church and the town hall. In the Thirty Years' War, in 1684, almost the entire place fell prey to the flames again. The symbol of the subsequent reconstruction is the town hall from 1686/87. Of particular importance is the cohesive appearance of the buildings, which is shaped by the reconstruction after the town fire of 1684. These typically include two-storey front houses, often with gables facing the street, featuring decorative half-timbering on the upper floor. In addition to wall remnants, the Bamberger Torturm gate tower, dating back to the 16th century in its core, has been preserved from the town's fortifications.

With the opening of the Ludwig-Süd-Nord-Bahn on the Bamberg-Lichtenfels section, the Staffelstein station (since 2001: Bad Staffelstein station) was also put into operation on February 15, 1846. The station building, a sandstone block construction with a hipped roof, was designed by the architect Georg Friedrich Christian Bürklein from Central Franconia, who shortly thereafter gained great fame for the new Munich Central Station designed by him.

The reservoir is also very beautiful, but the bridge also comes out well.

The hospital church is the starting point of a historic Stations of the Cross dating from 1714. This leads from the city up to the famous pilgrimage church of Vierzehnheiligen with seven sandstone stations.
