Decker recorded in a watercolor sketch in 1852, were still preserved. The chapel was later demolished. Isolated workpieces from the chapel were walled up in the Eberhardsburg in Eulbacher Park, in the castle chapel in Fürstenau and in the cemetery chapel in Beerfelden. The remains of the wall visible today were secured during excavations in 1932 and 1963.

At times (as recently as 1955) the remainder of a late medieval wayside shrine served as a fountain trough, today the fountain has a profiled fountain stick and a sandstone trough and the old wayside shrine was placed next to it. |

Ruins of a medieval hillside castle on the spur of the Weckberg. The castle once served to monitor the Gammelsbach valley and as the seat of the Freienstein office . It was still well maintained in the 17th century, but was no longer permanently inhabited after 1700 and then fell into disrepair. After the town fire in Beerfelden in 1810, the castle was used as a quarry to rebuild the town. Despite security measures from the early 20th century, parts of the ruins have collapsed again and again, most recently in 1987 and 1988 parts of the shield wall. While some outer areas of the castle, such as the gate and front gate, have been almost completely removed, the Zwinger and core castle, but above all the tower-like Pallas, are still preserved as voluminous structures. The structural remains show stylistic features of the 13th to 16th centuries. Due to its history and architecture, the castle has a variety of meanings and is the defining landmark of the Gammelsbach valley. In order to maintain the long-distance effect of the castle and the surrounding landscape, it forms a whole with the surrounding parcels. |

In the “Oberm Brunnen” corridor in the “Bockswiese” there is a field path that, coming from the church, crosses the meadow in a gentle curve and then continues towards Schöllenbach to the west. For a distance of about 100 meters, it is bordered on both sides by upright sandstone slabs. The individual hooves used to be demarcated from each other with such rows of positioning stones . The fact that the stones were on both sides of the path also suggests that they also fulfilled the task of preventing the animals from breaking out when driving cattle. |

Catholic Parish Church of St. Lucia | Hauptstraße 12 Location hall: 1, parcel: 1/2 |
The Catholic parish church of St. Luzia and St. Odilia is centrally located on a western slope in the Catholic town . It was built in 1766 in the shape shown today. However, evidence of a previous building dates back to around 1400 and the finds from the archaeological excavations carried out in 1969 indicate an origin at least in the 13th century. The "Hesselbacher Kreuz" salvaged from a grave inside the church, which is assigned to the creative circle of Rogerus von Helmarshausen , does not make it unlikely that it was erected in the 12th century.
The interior of the church, which looks relatively simple from the outside, contains some art treasures. The baroque high altar, the sculpture of a black Madonna and the duplicate of the Hesselbach cross (the original is in the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt ) are worth seeing . |

Evangelical parish church (source church) | Lower Siegfriedstraße 2 position hall 1, hall piece: 6/1 |
In the second half of the 15th century, a three-aisled church with a large choir cross vault in the late Gothic style was built over a spring - presumably on the site of an older chapel - and inaugurated in 1465 by the donor Philip IV zu Erbach. Since the water was said to have a healing effect and because an image of the Virgin displayed in the church was considered miraculous, a lively pilgrimage to the Schöllenbacher church , supported by the sovereign, soon developed . In 1480 two more altars were erected on the side of the Marian altar. Count Eberhard XIII. On the occasion of his wedding to Maria von Wertheim, von Erbach finally donated the carved and richly decorated Schöllenbach Altar , which was completed in 1515 and on which the family tree of Christ is depicted, the so-called Root Jesse . After Erbach introduced the Reformation in 1560, the pilgrimages fell drastically and the church gradually fell into disrepair. The altar was moved to Erbach at the beginning of the 17th century , where it is still located today. Wars and epidemics continued to affect the village and church, so that until the 18th century only a large church ruin remained. This church building, which in the end no longer had a roof, was used as a chapel for the dead. It was not until 1782 that the church was rebuilt in its present form using the existing masonry but with a significantly reduced floor plan.
The spring church stands out among the sights and cultural monuments of Schöllenbach. The church in its recent form is a reduction building from the year 1782. The still existing walls of the choir of the once three-aisled church from 1465 (see above, history section) were separated by a new wall and designed into a new church building. The lost, presumably collapsed ceiling was replaced by a simple beam ceiling. The remaining remaining walls were removed and used as building material in other places in the county of Erbach. The size of the previous building, which is enormous for a small town like Schöllenbach and quite appropriate for a place of pilgrimage of supraregional importance, can still be guessed: today's portal to the churchyard corresponds to the former church portal and fragments of the Gothic buttresses on the inner walls indicate the original height of the building. The interior of the church is mainly from the time of the first renovation in 1863/1865. These include the communion cupboard and the baptismal font, both of which are in neo-Gothic style, as well as the altarpiece of Adelheid Princess zu Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen from 1865, which was restored in 2004. Another renovation of the church took place in 1971/1972. Among other things, a previously walled up side entrance was exposed and the gallery was completely redesigned. In 1975 the organ was renewed. |

Residential building (demolished) | Gammelsbach, Neckartalstraße 109 hallway: 8, parcel: 152/1 |
Single-storey clapboard half-timbered building on a solid base, with a two-flight flight of stairs and a gable roof with a dormer window. The house of a Hubenhof was extremely large. Judging by its window layout and the height of the floors, the building probably dates back to the late 17th century, although the massive base floor was only expanded in the first third of the 19th century. The running fountain of the property, which is dated on the floor in 1836, also came from this renovation period. The associated barn had five zones and a basement in the southern area. The property was fenced in with stone posts and a row of positioning stones. The striking Hubenhof had an extremely attractive location below Freienstein Castle, but was demolished in the late 20th century. |
