Tips from the Community
The Protestant church in Obersontheim was built between 1585 and 1586 by Count Friedrich VII. von Limpurg. At that time, Obersontheim was the ancestral seat of the Counts of Limpurg. The church was also the burial place of the Counts of Limpurg, who were interred in Großcomburg Monastery before the change of confession. On the night of December 8th to 9th, 1967, a fire broke out on the gallery, necessitating subsequent renovation.

The chapel of St. Gangolf was built in 1500 as a fortified church of the Prince-Provostry of Ellwangen. The tower is of earlier date and dates from the 13th century. It is designed very defensively with battlements and has a historical bell from 1496.

There's an old pear tree here, along with an information board where you can learn more about pear cider. A bench invites you to linger and enjoy the view of Bühlerzell.
