In 1708, Ludwig von Seckendorff zu Obernzenn und Meuselwitz had the imposing three-winged Baroque palace built. The horseshoe-shaped farmyard with its gate dates back to the 16th century, while the stables and barn date from the 18th/19th centuries. The red, white, and gold coat of arms stone in the gable above the main entrance beyond the bridge over the dry moat depicts two separate coats of arms placed side by side – those of the von Seckendorff family and the von Ellrichshausen family. The palace entrance hall is decorated with Tuscan columns. The palace complex, with its outbuildings, is situated on a hill directly above the town. From here, the view extends over the town far into the Zenn Valley. Unfortunately, the palace in Trautskirchen can currently only be viewed from the outside. http://www.gemeinde-trautskirchen.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten.html

The two-story former rectory, with its half-timbered upper floor, takes its name from its round-arched doorway. In earlier times, the building marked the entrance to the village. In the center of the village, the remarkable Gothic church stands on the former fortified cemetery, with interior furnishings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries and magnificent stucco frames. Open Sundays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; on weekdays, the key can be picked up from Mrs. Mauser, Hans-Böckler-Straße 6, 90619 Trautskirchen, phone +49 9107 96790. http://www.gemeinde-trautskirchen.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten.html

In 1987, Heinz Eigner acquired the old, abandoned farm, which was on the verge of ruin. The ambitious art and antiques collector thus fulfilled a lifelong dream. Heinz Eigner's dream of uniting and presenting art and antiques under one roof in a special setting became a reality. The "Gallery Barn" was converted into a "Gallery Restaurant" in 2001 and 2002, allowing visitors to view art and antiques in peace and quiet while enjoying the special charm of the "Little Museum" with good food or coffee and cake.

Qusai is a café and museum in one. The garden is also lovingly designed. You don't find something like this every day—highly recommended! 👍👍 (Check opening hours).

The three crosses (one of which is only a fragment) are best seen in the winter months. In summer, the spot where the crosses stand is likely to be quite overgrown (as of March 30, 2025).
