Steigerwald Treetop Walk

Highlight • Viewpoint

Absolutely worthwhile is a visit to the treetop trail. Suitable for big and small (also with stroller). The construction alone is worth seeing. Definitely also a detour to the info center to Handthal make (nice walk through the forest, suitable for strollers, also possible by bicycle)

Schlüsselfeld Town Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The Old Town Hall was built in 1723 and was so severely damaged in a fire in 1948 that a thorough renovation was necessary. In the course of this, the building was restructured into a school building and used as such until 1967. The building was then used again by the municipal office and was empty from 1978.

Petrus Fountain

Highlight • Monument

In the middle of the large market square is the Petrusbrunnen, which was built at the beginning of the 17th century and shows St. Peter with the key to heaven.
Originally, the fountain saint faced east. When the conversion of the fountain became necessary in 1836, the residents of the west side demanded that St. Peter should now be turned towards them. A heated argument broke out in which no amicable settlement could be reached. The Höchstadt district judge was called to arbitrate, who then quickly ordered that the fountain saint should not be allowed to face east or west in future, but to the south. Because of this quarrel, St. Peter still faces the road to the south to this day.

Upper Gate, Schlüsselfeld

Highlight • Historical Site

The “Upper Gate” is part of the medieval, late Gothic fortifications of Schlüsselfeld and consists of the massive west tower above the gate and a three-sided outwork with massive surrounding walls and a two-story outer gate set in front of the city wall.
The first part of the tower was built between 1466 and 1495 as part of the expansion of the city fortifications under Prince-Bishop Rudolf von Scherenberg.

St. Rochus Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel of St. Rochus was built at the instigation of the then abbot of the Cistercian abbey in Ebrach Hieronymus Höllein. After the heavy year of plague 1611, he decided to build a chapel with cemetery on the hill above the village Großgressingen next to the already built in 1594 infirmary for leprosy patients. Ready in 1613, as an inscription on the southern cornice shows, the chapel was completed.
The chapel is built in the post-Gothic style with three-sided finish and ridge turret. Above the side portal is the coat of arms of the builder Abbot Hieronymus Höllein. The main altar is early Baroque, the altarpiece represents "Maria Himmelfahrt" with St. Roch and Sebastian and was made in 1779. The two rococo side altars date from the middle of the 18th century. The right altar is dedicated to St. Sebastian and the left the hl. Rochus, the two church patrons, consecrated.
