Iphofen

Iphofen is known for its rare complete medieval town wall and other historic buildings as well as for being a location of wine production.

Iphofen lies at the foot of the Schwanberg, a prominent hill on the northwestern edge of the Mittelgebirge Steigerwald.

During the 14th and 15th century, Würzburg was able to purchase the rights of other nobles who held a strong position in Iphofen, notably Hohenlohe and the Counts of Castell.

The latter held inter alia the patrozinium [de] of St. Vitus, but in 1325/8 sold their properties in Iphofen to Ulrich von Hanau.

[5] Inside the wall, most buildings are historic and the tallest structures are the churches: The Baroque town hall on the market square dates from 1716-8.

It overlooks the square with many half-timbered houses and the Marienbrunnen (fountain with a Baroque statue of Mary).

[8] The Knauf Museum, opened in 1983 in an early Baroque building (1688-93) which originally served as an inn, later as the local administrative seat (Amtshof) for the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg and then as the Bavarian Rentamt [bar; de; es].
