Worth seeing

The late Gothic style church “Unserer Lieben Frau” with its bulbous spire welcomes majestically from afar. Worth seeing is especially the complete town-wall from the 14th century including its water containing bulwark moat. Central point of the historical city is the town hall from the time of the 15th century. Further strength of the historic past are the house of the former governor, the former grammar school, impressive common- and frame work houses as well as the “Zehntscheune” which houses the cabbage land museum.

Concerts, folklore activities, sculpture- and artist classes complete the many-fold recreational activities,

Close to the town one can find the idyllic natural open-air bath including camping ground and large playground.

Today Merkendorf is an optimal starting point for hike- and bicycle tours throughout the large “Mönchswald” and the “ Fränkische Seenland”. Comfortable apartments and hotel rooms and, last but not least, the excellent frankonian cookery will help to spent an unencumbered vacation in Merkendorf. In addition, for visitors of the soccer world champion ship 2006 we are able to offer ideal overnight accommodations either in holiday homes or our camping ground.
