In summer there is a small concert every Friday from the Türmersturm. On the Schlossplatz you can sit, eat and drink something and enjoy the ambience

The tower room at the top is cute. The tower tower is the landmark of Tauberbischofsheim and used to be an early warning system against attackers approaching the old city wall, parts of which have been preserved. In the summer, the tower horns play here for the tourists on certain days.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
