The fortified church of St. Veit in Veitsbronn sits enthroned on a hill above the village and is accessible via 107 steps. Its origins date back to the 11th century, and by the 14th century, it was already a pilgrimage church. The church is distinguished by valuable altars from the Reformation period. Its fortified structure, with loopholes in the once-higher defensive walls and walkways, testifies to its former function as a place of protection. The striking tower once had four small corner turrets, which earned the church the nickname "Five-Button." Today, St. Veit is a vibrant center of parish life, offering a variety of services and enjoying the active involvement of many parishioners. Even today, the Protestant church is visited by Catholic pilgrims who venerate the altar of Mary there.

The Evang.-Luth. St. Veit Church is a fortified church and stands on a hill. It was built in the second half of the 14th century and was expanded into a fortified church from 1388. St. Veit has been Protestant since 1529. The church was badly damaged in the Thirty Years' War. Numerous renovations have been carried out in the meantime - some of them later reversed.

A church well worth seeing with a beautiful sundial, defensive walls ...

St. Veit is z. Currently scaffolded and the interiors are not accessible due to renovation work.

Beautiful little Gothic fortified church with well-preserved fortifications

and significant altar and other valuables from the first half of the 16th century. Nice view over the place.

By the way: The people of Veitsbronn made a living in the Middle Ages

by escorting and leading services for the Nuremberg

Merchant trains an extra income. In order to secure this sideline, the Nuremberg - Frankfurt/Main trade route near Veitsbronn was left in a poor condition.
