St. Leo's Church Edit

 
Medallion made by DDR commemorating one of Riemenschneider altars at the church

The church dating from 1492 contains several works from Tilman Riemenschneider:Altar of the Apostles, Altar of the Church Fathers, and Altar of the Annunciation, Carving of St. Kilian, Crucifix, and epitaph of Hans von Bibra (the father of Lorenz von Bibra). All are wood except the epitaph. The current church had three benefactors: Kilian von Bibra, Lorenz von Bibra, and Albrecht von Bibra. All three were high church officials in Würzburg. Three benefactors hence three altar design and three coat-of-arms stained glass windows.
