In the past, teachers and pastors were often closely linked in their roles and prestige, as they were among the most important dignitaries in a place, exercising authority and shaping public life. These two professions were often combined in one person, as pastors frequently also worked as teachers, especially in rural communities. And so, here too, the former school is located right next to the church, no wonder.

The Glender Wiesen Bird Sanctuary nature reserve has existed since 1989. It is one of the few remaining large-scale wetland meadows in Upper Franconia. With the construction of Lake Goldberg to protect the city of Coburg from flooding in 2010, large areas of the nature reserve were flooded. In addition to the biotope lake in the nature reserve, Lake Grundsee was created south of the railway line. Since then, new habitats, particularly for waders and waterfowl, have been able to develop. The northern part of Lake Grundsee, like the nature reserve, is also an EU bird sanctuary. The Glender Wiesen area is now one of the most important meadow breeding areas in Upper Franconia. It is also of supra-regional importance for the state-wide and cross-border biotope network. The newly created water bodies of Lake Goldberg complement the diversity of habitats.

St. Oswald's Church in Großwalbur is a significant building with a long and eventful history. It is believed that a chapel stood on this site long before 1400, and around 1400, a church with a vicarage is documented. The oldest part of the present church, particularly the lower floors of the tower, dates back to the 12th century. Between 1477 and 1485, the church was extensively rebuilt, and the chancel was added, which has survived to this day. In 1538, the baptismal font and pulpit were installed. They are made of red sandstone and reflect the style of the time. Particularly striking on the pulpit is the large hourglass, which was once used to measure the length of sermons. The church was once a fortified church, part of a fortification, surrounded by a high defensive wall that stood until 1772. Over the centuries, there were several renovations, including a major reconstruction in 1706/1707.
