This is the seat of the oldest forestry office in Bavaria.

The neo-Gothic hall church made of ashlar masonry was built between 1846 and 1848 and is owned by the state after Bavaria recognized the building burden in 1835. After the state had committed itself to maintenance, the first service took place on June 24, 1861.[1] The church consists of a nave, a recessed choir closed on three sides in the east and a square roof tower in the west, which continues into an octagonal storey that houses the tower clock and the bell cage. On top of this sits an eight-sided, slate-covered knick-knack. The high altar, pulpit and organ were built in 1855. (Wikipedia.de)

The building is the seat of the oldest forestry office (since 1485) in Bavaria. It was built in 1576 by Elector Wolfgang von Dalberg, initially as an armory. Today it is the office building of the Bavarian State Forests.

There is also a nice Christmas market here.
