The town church of St. Georg is located on the beautiful market square with its historical buildings and shapes the overall picture of the old town. Opposite the town church is the castle, which was converted from the original moated castle into a Renaissance castle in the 16th century under Count Wolfgang II.

Almost nothing reliable is known about the life of St. George, to whom the church in Weikersheim was consecrated, but the veneration of his person goes back a long way to early Christianity. A martyr who is equated with George is said to have lived in the third century.
Well known and widespread, however, is the legend of St. George slaying the dragon, mostly he is depicted - on paintings or as a statue - as the conqueror of the monster, often as a knight on horseback.
The day of remembrance of the very popular George - he is among other things the patron saint of the English Kingdom - in the saints calendar is on April 23rd.

The town church and the castle opposite, surrounded by half-timbered houses, round off the market picture.
