Culture and sights
Goldacker Castle and Castle Park
After a thorough renovation, the estate that emerged from the manor of the von Goldacker family, which was expropriated in 1945 , now houses the Milestone health and conference center with practices, seminar rooms, guest rooms and a restaurant. Behind the castle is the castle park. Old trees represent the special value.
church
The Weberstedt church dates from the 15th century. The patron saint is Saint Ulrich . A special look is given to the colored design of the carvings on the galleries and on the barrel vault of the nave, which is clad with wood and painted with ornaments. In the church there is an altar shrine which represents the entombment of Christ. The grave slabs of the Goldacker family from the 16th and 17th centuries are on the north and south sides. The church also houses an altar organ that is unique in its sound. This was built in 1911 by Orgelbau Furtwängler & Hammer and restored in 2012/2013.
outdoor pool
In the renovated outdoor pool operated by the community, which is equipped with a filter system, there is a children's water slide.
