Together with the almost 90-year-old stork fountain and the many surrounding half-timbered houses, the market square in Gerstungen is definitely worth a visit. One of the richly decorated half-timbered buildings stands where the Kemenate, the stone residential tower of Melchior Rudolph von Boyneburg, was demolished in 1700. The ancestral castle of the von Boyneburg family was in the Ringgau on the ridge near Sontra-Wichmannshausen, and it was abandoned as a residence at the end of the 15th century.

There is a very nice marketplace here with a few historical information boards. There is also a good bakery here, which also opens on Sundays from 8 a.m., and a butcher's shop.
