The Vitus Fountain, dating from 1613, stands in the market square of Vacha in front of the red-timbered town hall. The statue depicts the city's patron saint, Saint Vitus, dressed as a Roman knight. His left hand hangs down, holding a shield that depicts his martyrdom.

The Old Mint building in Vacha, located on the market square, was built in 1455 and is a former mint. It produced the coins "Vächer Were," which featured a crude depiction of the abbots wearing mitres. The abbots held the right to mint coins.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. John in Vacha was built in 1172, rebuilt in the Gothic style in 1306, rebuilt after the town fire in 1467, and rebuilt again in 1821 after the Thirty Years' War.

Since the late Middle Ages, the Kemenate has transformed into a noble residence for various families, who often provided the Fulda bailiff of Vacha.

A small but really nice old town.

A beautiful cemetery chapel that once served as a monastery church of the Servite Order.

The memorial commemorates the fallen of the First World War and stands in front of the tower of St. John's Church. It was dedicated in 1929. It was donated by Vacha residents. The lists of donors' names were buried in the memorial's stone base as a testament to the residents' willingness to make sacrifices, unity, and gratitude. However, the names of the donors could no longer be determined. It survived the Third Reich and the GDR era.

The beautiful old tower has been architecturally integrated into a modern residential area. Creating something new while preserving the old – I think it's a great success.
