Market Square with Market Fountain

Nr. on the small map: 15 (Miltenberg)

Without a doubt, the market square with its market fountain is the center of town. The ensemble, which strikes a balance, honors the town’s heydays throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.

Here resided the wealthiest wine and grain merchants of Miltenberg. The Hohes Haus (High House), which goes by several different names, is especially ostentatious with its oriel.

Of the three inns formerly located on the opposite side of the square, only the former Gülden Cron (Golden Crown) with its distinctive oriel is still preserved. The Schwert (Sword) and the Esel (Donkey) burned down in 1848.
