Gemmingen Castle Widdern
Highlight • Castle
The building served as an inn from the 1860s before it was renovated and converted for residential purposes in the early 1990s.
The Gemmingen coat of arms can still be found on the stair tower.

Evangelical Laurentius Church Widdern
Highlight • Religious Site
Renovations took place mainly in 1582 (repair of the church tower) and 1710.
Inside the church you can find a lot of colorful epitaphs from the 15th to the 18th century. There are particularly large numbers of gravestones belonging to the Lords of Gemmingen.
The pulpit base is also worth seeing.
High water marks can be found on the outside of the church. There is also a stone with the year 1708 on which it says: "1708 - Christian Graf Werckmeister; Iohan Albrecht Nusser Zimermann". These were probably the main people involved in the renovation in the early 18th century.
