Gaildorf offers lots of activities

» Our sights

Gaildorf has many other sights to see, including the protestant town church, the Frasch Mausoleum, which was built by the descendants of Hermann Frasch, the former “Sulphur King“, and the Neues Schloss (New Palace), situated in the middle of a large park and housing the present town council offices. Another attraction for both young and old is the heated open-air mineral pool on the Kieselberg. A lookout tower erected on top of “Kirgel“ hill in the early 20th century still offers a panoramic view of Gaildorf and the surrounding Kocher Valley. This look-out tower, so called the Kerner Tower, was named after the famous poet and physician Julius Kerner, who lived and worked in Gaildorf from 1815 to 1819, during which time he wrote the Swabian national anthem “Preisend mit viel schönen Reden“ (Praising With Many Beautiful Words).
