Miltenberg is by no means large, but there are over 100 listed half-timbered houses on the pedestrianised Hauptstraße and the little alleys that dart off it. The oldest has been dated to 1339, but most were built in the 17th and 18th centuries after the Thirty Years’ War. Miltenberg’s townscape has appeared in period TV shows and movies, and its ch...
Just the place to savour Miltenberg’s endearing townscape, the market square has an irregular plan and is enclosed by half-timbered houses. One to look out for is the Weinhaus am Markt, which was owned by an important nobleman during the Thirty Years’ War in the 17th century. At the centre is the Marktbrunnen fountain, fashioned from red sandstone ...
Posted above the market place and Main Valley on a promontory, this hill castle was founded around 1200 by the Archbishop of Mainz to protect the eastern frontier of his bishopric. A lot of the outer architecture dates to the end of the 16th century following an eventful 100 years in which the castle was taken and damaged in the two Margrave Wars a...
At the top of the old market place, the city’s museum is in “Haus Miltenburg”, a glorious Renaissance house with corbelled bay windows and dormers. The galleries inside are modern and thoughtfully presented, covering the historical and cultural development of the town. Some of the most engaging exhibits are an inscribed pediment from Germany’s olde...
At Hauptstraße 97 is what could be Germany’s longest continuously operating inn. The earliest documented mention of Zum Riesen is from 1411, which would rank it high among the oldest hotels in the world. The building has been renovated many times in its history, but the basic architecture hasn’t changed since a Renaissance update in 1590 for which ...
At the eastern entrance to Miltenberg’s old town is the Würzburger Tor, first mentioned in 1379. Miltenberg’s eastern flank was the most vulnerable in Medieval times, and in those days the heavily armed gate was a fearsome prospect. But at the beginning of the 15th century the crenellated battlements were removed and a decorative hipped roof was bu...
Found 2.5 kilometres from the Würzburger Tor, the less ornamented gate on the west side of the old town was also first mentioned in 1379. Like its eastern counterpart it was built during the reign of the Mainz Archbishop Adolf I of Nassau, whose coat of arms you can still see above the portal. The gate’s facade is broken by a series of arrow loops,...
This church first went up in the 13th century when Miltenberg was granted city rights and was updated a century later. By the late 18th century this building was dilapidated and over the next 100 years St. Jakobus would be totally reworked in a Neoclassical style, with a long barrel arch in its nave. Under the stunning wheel chandelier by the main ...
From its earliest days, Miltenberg was a crossing point on the Main by ferry. But it wasn’t until 1900 that the town had its own bridge. The Mainbrücke, with six arches came at the end of 25 years of fund-raising and planning. The design embraced Miltenberg’s Medieval heritage with a replica of fortified sandstone gatehouse that looks like it could...
Once a Franciscan monastery church, Franziskanerkirche dominates Engelplatz, the largest square in Miltenberg and site of the current town hall. It was built a few decades after the monastery was founded, in the 1660s, by Antonio Petrini, the Italian court architect of the Bishopric of Würzburg. The architecture is clean and simple, with a long bar...
