Rottendorf is a municipality in the district of Würzburg in Lower Franconia.
background
The municipality of Rottendorf in Lower Franconia (Bavaria) extends over an area of almost 15 square kilometers and is divided into the three districts of Rothof, Rottendorf and Wöllriederhof. Today Rottendorf has around 5,300 inhabitants in the Würzburg region, which was first mentioned in a document around 1025. The current name Rottendorf developed from the medieval Roten- or Rodendorf, which was part of the Würzburg Monastery, which was part of the Franconian Empire. Since 1814 Rottendorf has finally belonged to the Free State of Bavaria, in the north-west of which the municipality is located.
In 1962 Rottendorf received its own four-color coat of arms. Its three silver tips symbolize the Franconian rake, the traditional coat of arms of Franconia. Since 1987 there has been between Rottendorf and the community with almost 3,700 inhabitants Troarn a town twinning in north-western France. Troarn is located in the Lower Normandy region in the arrondissement of Caen.

Tourist Attractions
The three districts have a number of listed buildings, most of which can be found in Rottenburg, for example in Hauptstrasse or Würzburger Strasse. Worth mentioning are the so-called Marienkapelle from 1753, the medieval Catholic parish church of St. Vitus, as well as the former Hirsch'schen sugar factory from the 19th century in Schulstrasse and Hofstrasse.
Also worth seeing is the war memorial built around 1920 to commemorate those who fell in the First World War. In addition to a figure of Christ in the halo, it shows a touching relief with a war scene and name plates. The biggest attraction in Rottendorf is the former moated castle, which is said to date from the 15th century and is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped community garden. The restored building now houses the library and also serves as a place for civil weddings in a stylish atmosphere.
