The Roßdorf Rock Cellar (often also called Sauer's Cellar) is a classic Franconian beer cellar on the outskirts of Roßdorf am Forst (municipality of Strullendorf). It belongs to the Sauer Brewery, which is located in the village center. The cellar is idyllically situated on the edge of the forest above the village. It offers a sweeping view across the Regnitz Valley to the Steigerwald forest and is known for its shady spots under old trees. At the entrance stands a striking, listed cellar building dating from 1914. Originally, the tunnels hewn deep into the rock served to cool the beer before it was served on-site in the summer. Sauer Brewery beer is served, especially their typical naturally cloudy cellar beer. Traditional Franconian snacks (e.g., cellar platters) and hot meals are also available. The cellar is a key stop on the Strullendorf Beer Cellar Trail, a popular cycling and hiking route.

On the connecting road between Amlingstadt and Roßdorf am Forst (near Wernsdorf) are two striking religious monuments, often linked to local history and old field paths. The wayside shrine, often referred to as a "Martersäule" (martyr's column) in Franconia, is a typical example of Baroque folk piety in Franconia. The column is made of sandstone and has a smooth base (approximately 140 cm high) that terminates in a cap with niches for images. The lantern (the upper part) often features four empty, round-arched niches and is topped with a cross-shaped roof, sometimes adorned with shell ornaments (scallop shells) – a reference to its location on old pilgrimage routes. Directly opposite the wayside shrine stands a wooden cross with a corpus. Such wayside crosses formerly served as landmarks, places for prayer during fieldwork, or as memorials for those who had died in accidents.

The parish church of St. Giles in Amlingstadt is one of the most historically significant churches in the Bamberg district. It is considered one of the so-called Slavic churches, whose founding is attributed to a commission from Charlemagne in 793. Archaeological excavations have revealed a small Carolingian church as its predecessor. The core of the present church building dates back to the first half of the 15th century (around 1430) and was consecrated in 1442 by Bishop Anton von Rotenhan. During the Thirty Years' War, Swedish troops burned the church to the ground in 1631. Reconstruction took place around 1640/1659. To alleviate the lack of space, the Bamberg architect Adam Jakob later designed a large transept in the east, while preserving the Baroque character of the interior. While the building's structure is Late Gothic, the interior is now largely defined by Baroque furnishings from the 17th and 18th centuries. An ornate tabernacle with angels and a pelican finial adorns the chancel. The choir stalls with painted depictions of the apostles are particularly noteworthy. The church and cemetery are surrounded by a sturdy wall, which formerly served as a defensive structure and storage area in times of need.

The parish church of St. Giles in Amlingstadt is one of the oldest churches in the Bamberg district. The current building is characterized by its Baroque furnishings from the 17th and 18th centuries. However, its origins reach back much further.
