Schenkenau was first mentioned in 1286 as the ancestral seat of the von Rotenhan family. The medieval fortress on the Erfurt-Nuremberg trade route was destroyed except for the ground floor during the Peasants' War of 1525, but was subsequently rebuilt as a Ganerbenburg (Ganerbenburg). After 1437, the castle changed hands several times. Since 1960, Schenkenau has been owned by the Treiber family, who began generating electricity in 1961 and offered farm holidays since 1973. https://die-schenkenau.de/

The former synagogue commemorates the Jewish religious community. There are explanatory panels around the synagogue. It's a beautifully designed place. Thanks to the people who preserve this heritage and remind us that history doesn't repeat itself.

The Catholic Church of the Birth of Mary stands on a hill in the village and dominates the townscape.

Theme: Encounter on the pilgrimage Brief description: Originally grounded and reduced to the essentials; signs that every pilgrim can read. Theological background: The pilgrimage offers many opportunities for encounters: There is the wonderful landscape between Itzgrund and the Garden of God on the Upper Main. There are the villages with their old churches, their half-timbered houses and their original farms. There are the forests and fields in all their colorfulness. There are the people who greet the pilgrims in a friendly manner across denominational boundaries. There are the crosses and wayside shrines, the small chapels along the way, testimonies to the faith of our ancestors. In these encounters on the pilgrimage, something new emerges - faith, hope, love.
