Rolf
June 1, 2025, Obere Gate Tower (Oberer Torturm), Scheinfeld

The tower, with irregular ashlar masonry, rises above a square ground plan of 7.2 meters. The tower is approximately 23 meters high to the apex, with a 15-meter eave height. The tower is characterized by its slightly pointed arched passageway, the low half-timbered upper story, and its tent roof with a lantern. The tower facades are free-standing on three sides; only on the south side is a neighboring building directly adjacent to the tower facade. The half-timbered story was rebuilt in 1605/1606. A narrow staircase leads to the interior above the passageway, through which the main street runs. The ceiling levels consist of simply boarded wooden beams. The bell tower was designed for the Old Town Hall in 1695 and only relocated to the Upper Gate in the early 20th century. Only recently, Baroque figurative wall paintings depicting a man, a woman, and a young girl were partially uncovered on two half-timbered walls. These paintings are depicting a man, a woman, and a young girl. https://www.denkmalschutz.de/pressemeldung/der-torturm-in-scheinfeld-wird-dsd-foerderprojekt.html

On August 28, 1794, the church was finally consecrated in honor of the Assumption of Mary. The tower in the east rises about 44 meters high and forms the large entrance portal with the Schwarzenberg coat of arms in the lower part. This is followed by the nave, which forms a light-flooded church space about 28 meters long and 12 meters wide. The jewel of the church is the high altar in the choir. Above the tabernacle, Mary floats up into heaven in a halo of rays and is received there by the Trinity.
