The old manor tower is still preserved from the old manor. It dates from the 16th century and was also used as a punishment tower - hence the name "hunger tower".

The church in Braundorf houses Thuringia's oldest woodcarved figure, St. John the Baptist. It's only a copy; the original is in a museum in Eisenach. Even the copy is impressive.
