Beautiful old arched bridge has lasted for many years and outlived many newer bridges.

A castle with history in villages where you wouldn't suspect it. Now in private hands. More text coming soon...

A nice little hiking trail goes along the Zechstein rocks. Here you will also find the so-called knee grotto, which served as a shelter for our ancestors 12,000 years ago.

The first documented mention was in 1074, when it was still a moated castle. In 1850 the moat was filled in. After the expropriation in 1945, refugee families were quartered and so the castle escaped the destruction to which many other manor houses fell victim after the war.

It is not known when the church was built. The oldest bell is dated 1670.

The Türkenhof is the oldest building in Oppurg. It was built in the 16th century by Hans von Brandenstein after he returned from Turkish captivity. The building has been used as the administrative headquarters of the Oppurg administrative community since 1995.
