The von Rörenfurth family's former weir storage facility is the oldest remaining building in the city of Melsungen. In the Middle Ages, there was also a chapel in the house that was the family seat of the castle. It is also believed that the building was also used as living space.

The bower in Melsungen - the oldest stone house in the city. Next to the portal of the city church, it is listed as the oldest solid building in the city center. As we see it now, people were last able to see the building 100s of years ago. Together with the artist Edwin Moes, we take a look at this building, which has not yet been accessible to the public
