Brückenstrasse location	Tower of the Protestant parish church	The late Gothic tower with a gable roof was built in the 15th century and was part of a medieval, most recently Protestant church, which fell into disrepair in the 18th century.

Brückenstrasse location	Roman bridge, road bridge	The road bridge popularly known as the "Roman Bridge" was built around 1550. The bridge was built from sandstone blocks and has four arches with blind arches. The pillars are rectangular downriver and pointed upriver as water breakers.

Hauptstrasse 12 location	Farmhouse	Built in the 18th century
Hauptstrasse 16 location	Catholic schoolhouse	The schoolhouse was built in 1819 as a single-storey plastered building. In 1856 a roof turret with a bell was added to the gable roof and in 1872 heightened it. The bell tower was renewed in 1927 and slimmed down a bit. From 1936 to 1945 the originally Catholic school house housed a community school in which Protestant and Catholic children were taught together. The lower rooms were used as a kindergarten during this time. When a new school building was built in 1960, the building was used as a sanitary material store for civil protection. In 1968 the house was sold in private ownership. The building has now been renovated and is used by the city's associations. The two-storey plastered building facing the eaves has four window axes on the street side, one of which on the ground floor accommodates the door. Doors and windows have a sandstone reveal. On the upper floor, the windows are made through a cornice. The house is on a slope, so the building has a high basement at the front.
