Hassfurt

The pretty little town of Hassfurt lies on the north bank of the main between the Steigerwald and the Hassbergerg. For much of its history, it was a frontier post of the territory of the latter's prince-bishopric, and two massive medieval tower-gates, the Oberes Tor and Unteres Tor , still guard either end of Hauptstrasse. A third, the Brückentorturm , which formerly guarded the river front, was remodeled in the Baroque style in the 18th century, probably by Balthasar Neumann.
