St. Jakobus Irmelshausen Church

Besides the five-sided castle Irmelshausen, the late Gothic church, with its numerous and beautiful Bibra gravestones from the 16th and 17th centuries, is worth visiting. Among the graves at the church is that of Hans von Bibra (1547 -1581) (grave out of view) who is the common ancestor of all living Bibras.
