Weikersheim, with its state recognised resort town, is the magnificent renaissance palace with the palace gardens, which are laid out in the style of Versailles. The baroque interior decoration has been almost entirely preserved, with a particularly impressive \u2018Rittersaal\u2018 (\u2018Knights\u2018 Hall\u2018). The historic marketplace is surrounded by the town\u2018s parish church, the Kornbau museum of rural life, the baroque town hall and the palace entrance. The world\u2018s largest youth music organisation, the \u2018Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland\u2018 has its headquarters here. The TauberPhilharmonie concert hall is the cultural centre of the Tauber Valley and serves as an events venue for concerts, music, art and cultural displays.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div
