Beautiful path, gently rising towards Langenaltheim. From time to time, you will encounter a farm vehicle. Therefore, caution is always advised

Monheim Castle appears rather unassuming, but behind its history lies a serious scandal. The building was expanded in its current form in 1806 under the regional judge Count Johann Adam von Reisach. He had the left wing of the castle extended and added a private courtroom. This renovation was primarily driven by a conspicuous desire for self-promotion. The project is alleged to have been illegally financed with proceeds from court cases.

Monheim's elongated market square reveals that the important trade route between Nuremberg and Augsburg once ran through here. The square is framed by historic city gates, which were built around 1340 along with the city wall. The carefully restored buildings of the old town recall a time when Monheim boasted numerous inns, horse-changing stations, and breweries. The town hall is also among the most striking buildings in the town center.

The current building dates from the late Gothic period; the north portal of the church bears the date 1509. The interior, however, is in the Baroque style. The vault was constructed in its present form in 1596. The monastery was dissolved by the Protestant ruler (Monheim had belonged to the newly formed Principality of Palatinate-Neuburg since 1506). The pilgrimage ceased. Remnants of the monastery can still be found in the present-day St. Walburg House and in the cloister. The church tower was completed in 1575.

This is St. Emmeram's Church in Wittesheim. This neo-Romanesque hall church was built in 1842 after the collapse of its predecessor. It consists of a nave, cruciform extensions in front of the recessed, semicircular choir to the east, and a church tower to the west, half-set within the nave. The ground floor houses the vestibule behind the portal. Its top floor houses the clock tower and the bell cage, topped by a pointed spire. The Art Nouveau designs for the church's interior were created by Michael Kurz. The sculptures were created by Karl Baur. The organ with 12 stops, distributed over two manuals and a pedal, was built in 1972. Source and further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Emmeram_(Wittesheim)
