Stone Bridge in Obervolkach with the Statue of St. John of Nepomuk

Highlight • Bridge

The Nepomuk statue from the 18th century is similar to the one in Volkach at the Gaibacher Tor. Only the so-called Baffchen was worked out in more detail. The figure is about 1.50 m high and was made of sandstone

Volkach Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The former administrative buildings are spread throughout the old town. Only the town hall at the front of the market square is still used by the city administration today. A town hall in Volkach has been documented since 1484, but it did not exist on the current site. Construction of the current building began in 1544. The town hall has undergone several renovations, including the addition of a double staircase in 1610. In the 20th century, it was also used as a school; today, it houses the town administration and the administrative community.

The architecture is influenced by the Renaissance. The town hall has three floors and a steep gable roof. A double flight of open staircase is above the pointed arched gateway. A half-timbered bay window crowns the building. At the rear, there is a stair tower. A major renovation in 1972 transformed the building and adapted it to the needs of the administration. The interior contains several oil paintings. Official portraits of the Würzburg prince-bishops can be found here.

Volkach Market Square and Fountain

Highlight • Settlement

The wine town of Volkach is the center of the Mainschleife and looks back over more than 1,100 years of local history, all in the name of Frankenwein. Take a stroll through the market square with the historic town hall, stroll through the adjacent alleys and treat yourself to a good glass of local wine at the end of a hiking day.
