Nikolaus Chapel Eßfeld

Highlight • Religious Site

Here was the nucleus of the village of Essfeld, which was first mentioned in 820. There was also a castle here. The age of the chapel is unknown, but it contains a Romanesque window from the 11th-12th centuries.
A memorial stone for Reinmar von Zweter, a minstrel, stands next to the entrance to the Nikolaus chapel. He was a student of Walther von der Vogelweide and died in Essfeld around 1260.

Sculptures at the Eßfelder Weth Fountain

Highlight • Monument

The Kneipp basin is fed with spring water, which is very cold. The studio in which the bronze figures were made is located in the former pump house. Other bronze figures by the same artists can be found in Giebelstadt, Sulzdorf and Ingolstadt.
