Buildings

Located in the upper part of Börtlingen is the St. John's Church, which was inaugurated in 1202. The original late Gothic building of the present church was built in 1500 and was later in the 18th century probably modeled in Baroque style .[4]

Between Breech and Rattenharz, at the county road K 1408 is the Reinhold Maier-tower. The observation tower, a former water tower, has a height of about 25 m and can be seen from Börtlingen. It was built in 1914 and was until 2008 in use as a water tower. It was subsequently preserved on the initiative of the mayor and some citizens.[5][6]
