Laibach Castle, owned by the Barons of Racknitz, stands on a right-hand valley spur above the district of Laibach . Once a permanent (robber baron) castle, it was rebuilt in 1621 by Erhard von Muggenthal into a stately mansion in the Renaissance style.
In the district of Meßbach, next to the rococo church of the Holy Trinity, built in 1776 and decorated with beautiful ceiling paintings, there is the palace of the Barons von Palm . ⊙ It is an elongated square building with three floors and four round, coupled towers at the corners of the building. The castle was probably built before 1750, but was not completed by the Lords of Eyb until later.
Hohebach is the only suburb that does not have a baron castle, but a royal bridge.
The huge four-arch stone bridge was built from 1808 to 1810 by Karl August Friedrich von Duttenhofer at the behest of King Friedrich I of Württemberg, who wanted to connect his Napoleonically newly acquired northern part of Hohenlohe strategically and in terms of transport to the Swabian heartland. A high sandstone column in the middle of the bridge bears the Roman year MDCCCX and the royal monogram FR with the national coat of arms. According to Carl Julius Weber, it is "the most beautiful bridge in the entire Kingdom of Württemberg". Towards the end of the Second World War , the two northern arches of the bridge were blown up and rebuilt in 1947. From 1996 to 1998 the bridge, over which the Federal Highway 19 now runs, was repaired and widened while maintaining its design.
In 2001 Dörzbach won the gold medal in the state competition Our village should become more beautiful .

Between Dörzbach and Hohebach, in front of a limestone rock, is the St. Wendel zum Stein chapel with a sacristan's house, in the middle of the nature reserve of the same name. Evidence of earlier chapels and caves inhabited from the Ice Age are preserved in the rock face. In recent times, services and devotions have been celebrated in the chapel.
In the summer of 2006, the paths of silence were inaugurated in the central Jagst valley . The St. Wendel Chapel is located on the route in the Dörzbacher section, directly above the chapel the Kocher-Jagst cycle path leads over the Maifestplatz .
Economy and Infrastructure
Jagst Valley Railway
The departure station of the Jagst Valley Railway, a narrow-gauge railway that used to be important regionally, is located in Dörzbach . The Jagst Valley Railway (gauge 750 mm) had always been operated as a private railway. The execution of the steam tram route planned in 1888 from Züttlingen via Dörzbach to Bad Mergentheim was modified to a narrow-gauge railway. The opposite starting point of the railway was moved from Züttlingen to the larger Möckmühl , where there was also a connection to the main Heilbronn - Lauda line . The branch line was put into operation in December 1900. Until 1951 there was freight and passenger traffic. Passenger traffic (school transport) was temporarily resumed in 1967. In 1971, the German Society for Railway History (DGEG) set up one of the first museum railway operations ( steam locomotives ) in Germany here in the summer months in cooperation with the SWEG . On December 23, 1988, all operations were discontinued due to defects in the superstructure.
Efforts to restart operation between Dörzbach and Krautheim resulted in the establishment of the municipal Jagsttalbahn AG in 2002 .
The Friends of the Jagst Valley Railway are active in Dörzbach. He runs an engine shed. Starting from this, a museum is to be resumed on a small part of the former route.
