Directly below Maienfels Castle lies the Protestant Castle Church – a Gothic-influenced religious building dating back to 1433. In 1613, the former castle chapel was converted into a church and is still connected to the castle today via a path through the castle wall. The church impresses with its horseshoe gallery, tracery windows, and Art Nouveau furnishings. Particularly noteworthy are the late Impressionist altarpiece "Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at Jacob's Well" by Ernst H. Graeser and the small bell tower with its Italian-style cap.

Maienfels Castle towers high above the Brettach Valley – a medieval hilltop castle dating back to the 13th century, which is still largely intact today. The impressive half-timbered structure of the Gemming Palace is visible from afar and lends the town a fairytale feel. The castle is privately owned but can be visited in the courtyard when the gate is open.
