If you visit the old town of Lauda-Königshofen, it is worth taking a detour to the Froschbrunnen fountain to enjoy the atmosphere of this historic place.

The Türmersturm (Turm Tower) is the city's most famous landmark and part of the former Electorate of Mainz Palace. It was built as a defensive tower in the 13th century and later expanded in the 15th century. With a height of approximately 35 meters and 119 steps up to the tower chamber, it once served the city guard to monitor the Tauber Valley and the surrounding area.

Tauberbischofsheim Castle, also known as the Electorate of Mainz Castle, dates back to the 13th century. Today, it houses the Tauber Franconian Landscape Museum and, with its striking tower, is a landmark of the town.

The chapel was built in 1700 and is one of the city's small Baroque gems. It is located in the upper pedestrian zone, near Sonnenplatz, and was built with private funds. With its curved gable, columned portal, and raftered gable, it displays typical elements of the Baroque style.

A beautiful city fountain with a special detail: a small stone frog sits in the basin, giving the ensemble a playful touch.
