The castle and church are reminiscent of Zella's affiliation with the Prince Abbey of Fulda before the change to the then Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach in 1815. The baroque Church of St. Mary of the Assumption, built between 1715 and 1732, now serves as a Catholic parish church. The Propsteischloss is u. a. the seat of the Thuringian administration of the Rhön biosphere reserve. There are also exhibitions on the biosphere reserve.
