The former court linden tree stands almost in the center of Richelsdorf. A little further on is the manor house of the von Cornberg family, which now houses a specialist clinic. Adjacent to this is the parish church, which is very worth seeing for its richly decorated, peasant Baroque style. It is one of the so-called peasant Baroque churches found in the region and is one of the most beautiful village churches in East Hesse.

The Protestant St. Catherine's Church in Gerstungen is a castle church and has a striking hexagonal church tower with a pointed roof. The two upper stories are half-timbered. The nave was restored in 1588 after a fire.
