The protestant parish church St. Georg is the church of the deceased village Sarlesheim. It was abandoned after the village Neu-Bamberg was built at the foot of the castle. Only the church remained. It was already mentioned in 1522 as the parish church of Neu-Bamberg. The core of the church still dates back to the Middle Ages. Modifications and extensions followed in the 18th century.

Built in the 14th century. The lords of Kriegsheim built this building, which is probably the oldest preserved residential building in the municipality.

Here are the entrances to twelve vaulted cellars, which were already mentioned around 1600 and extend far beneath the marketplace. They are part of the once extensive and interconnected cellar system, another feature of the wine-growing village. Even today, some of the cellars are used for wine storage and can be visited during the annual cellar tour that takes place during the grape blossom festival.
