Rodheim is characterized by an intact town center. Old building fabric has always been lovingly renovated. Many half-timbered houses from the 16th and 17th centuries have been preserved, as well as two old school buildings, estates of the lower nobility such as the Junkernhof, the office of the Count of Hanau in a side street, a church tower from the 15th century on the market square, and the stylish Protestant parish church and the site of the former synagogue - all really worth seeing. Lovingly designed information boards can be found everywhere along the town tour.

The church tower from the 15th century, which can be found on Rodheim's market square - without the earlier nave of course - is a late result of the Reformation and the Thirty Years' War. It was not uncommon for Imperial Catholic troops to destroy the formerly Catholic churches that had been taken over in the course of the Reformation. The church ruins were then removed; a new, Protestant church emerged from this, mostly very close by - as in Rodheim and, in a very similar way, impressively in the town of Nidda.

Directly in front of the tower there is a memorial for those who died in the First World War and a few meters further there is a memorial for the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71.
