This foundation of Princebishop Julius Echter dates back to 1576 and is an impressive, castle-like Baroque building which hosts a hospital and a home for the elderly. Also inside - one of Germany's oldest, largest and most renowned wineries, whose proceeds subsidize the hospital and home.

In its historic courtyard, there is a beautiful pavilion from 1714 and a Baroque fountain from 1706.

The wine cellar (400 year-old) is nearly 800 feet long and filled with 220 wooden wine barrels.
