• The Verna Village Museum has exhibits relating to home décor, chattels and hand tools.

  Buildings

• In Spieskappel stands the Kirche St. Johannes, consecrated in 1255 and originally belonging to the Premonstratensian church estate of Cappel. The church is usually called the Klosterkirche. The church's organ was built in Hersfeld organ builder Johannes Schlottmann's workshop.
• The Spießturm is a mediaeval watchtower that can be found on the road between Spieskappel and Obergrenzebach. The tower stands at a spot where, in the Middle Ages, there was a crossroads of important trade roads; it was also at the border of Upper and Lower Hesse. Hessian Landtage were held here.
