The Protestant church is located at the lake side and dominates the views of the town from the lake. The church's history dates back to a chapel of the 7th century. The current church was built in 1493.

The oldest tavern in Meilen is the ''Löwen'' (Lion). The tavern is still in use, but since 1958 owned by the municipality. The main hall is now used for political and cultural events.

The inn ''zur Burg'' located at ''Friedberg'' (or locally known as ''Burg'') was built in 1676. It is an attractive building with many carved ornaments.

There are also a number of mansions, including the ''Seehof'', ''Seehalde'' and ''Grüene Hof''. The ''Seehof'' mansion was built in 1767-1769 and originally home to the successful textile producer Felix Oeri-Lavater. The mansion ''Seehalde'' was built when trade in wine was at its best: the 16th century.  The ''Grüene Hof'' mansion is located in ''Feldmeilen''. It was built between 1682 and 1684.
