The entire hamlet of Kilsbach | Overall facility location |
The hamlet consists of four large four-sided courtyards, three of which are in a loose group in the valley floor, while the fourth courtyard is a little higher off. Although the buildings date from different times and have been renewed several times, the hamlet is nevertheless an example of a large farming settlement from the 19th century in its almost original form, embedded in the landscape formed by the cultivated fields and meadows. The hamlet was therefore together with the surrounding land as the entire system under monument protection provided. | 19th century |

Schnellerts ruin | Schnellert's location hall: 3, parcel: 83 |
Ruins of a small castle from the late Hohenstaufen period (first half of the 13th century). The castle was built by the Lords of Crumbach from Rodenstein to protect them from the expansion-minded taverns from Erbach, was owned by Breuberg in 1391 and was probably destroyed shortly afterwards. In 1742 the castle was already described as an ancient ruin. The considerable stone remains had been removed by the middle of the 19th century. The ring walls of the complex were excavated in 1886. The main castle was an irregular hexagon with a maximum diameter of 36.5 meters and was surrounded by an approximately two-meter-thick rubble stone wall. The round keep in the east of the complex, the stump of which was preserved, had a diameter of 6.45 meters. The remaining buildings can only be identified fragmentarily. There were probably two half-timbered buildings and a massive stone house. Many finds of cannon balls, arrowheads and crossbow bolts support the thesis of the violent end of the castle. The ruins have been owned by the Counts of Erbach-Schönberg since 1747. It is a scene of the legend of the Rodensteiner , the Schnellertsherrn, who moves as a "wild hunter" through the air to the Rodenstein. The Ohly Tower was built as a lookout tower near the ruins in 1891 , but was demolished only a few years later. | 13th century |

Residential building | Schulstraße 15 Location hallway: 1, parcel: 357 |
Two-storey half-timbered house with a gable roof, with naturally curved struts, man figures, St. Andrew's crosses and richly profiled thresholds and frames. There are numerous inscriptions and dates on the threshold and corner post, according to which the house was built in 1614 by the master carpenters Lautenschläger. This makes the building the oldest half-timbered building in Wersau. Next to the entrance door there is a roofed basement neck that has been preserved from the construction period. | 1614 |
