Morschen

The community consists of the centres of Altmorschen (administrative seat), Binsförth, Eubach, Heina, Konnefeld, Neumorschen and Wichte.

The Haydau Monastery, the historic market street in Neumorschen, the late Baroque manor house "Altes Forstamt" and the Jewish cemetery in Binsförth are particularly noteworthy.

The building, which is also known as the "post office" because of its former function, is a stately late Baroque half-timbered house from the 17th century.

Under the motto Life - Encounters - Perspectives, Haydau Monastery is now used for conferences, congresses, art, culture, weddings and family celebrations.

Located in the centre of Altmorschen, the square was inaugurated in 2018 to mark the centenary of the birth of the historian and honorary citizen of Morschen, Waltari Bergmann.

Another striking half-timbered house from the late 18th century is the Horn Inn, where both the local heritage society (1908) and the shooting club (1928) were founded.

The fieldstone building in Neumorschen, dating from the early 13th century, is the oldest church in Morschen, founded on a late Romanesque choir tower and surrounded by a 15th-century fortified churchyard.

The building is a half-timbered house whose core dates back to the 16th century and has been documented as a mill for just as long.

Half-timbered houses from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries are grouped around a medieval fortified church made of brick.

According to regional tradition, Boniface preached south of Heina on an exposed hill high above the Fulda valley in 723 AD.

The log cabin, which is frequented as a barbecue site and excursion destination, stands on a hill halfway between Heina and Beiseförth (Malsfeld).

Due to the rarely good preservation of its architecture and the characteristic village lime trees, it is considered a prime example of such an institution in northern Hesse.

The village church of Eubach dates back to the High Middle Ages and is particularly distinguished by its location on a hill.

In recent decades, the stone foundations of the houses have been uncovered and can be visited; especially the ruins of the old village church stand out.

It was planted in the second half of the 20th century and is one of the rare examples of these giant North American trees in northern Hesse.

The Mord-Buche, a dead tree rib, was witness to a historical murder case of the early 19th century reconstructed by Waltari Bergmann.
