Former Superior Bailiwick (Oberamt „Adelshof“)

Nr. on the small map: 11 (Miltenberg)       

The former Oberamt (Superior Bailiwick) was originally an aristocratic court. In its present appearance it dates back to the family Lords of Fechenbach, approximately in 1679. After 1730, it became bailiwick of Mainz, later an official building with different designations until 1964. A medieval tower (Stumpfturm) being part of the first city wall to the west was constantly guarded by two men as statutory by a watch and fire regulation.

Today the municipal library is on the ground floor of the building.
