Die Sulzheimer Eich ist eine Bachweiche des Unkenbachs am Abzweig des Lämmerbachs. Sie wurde im 17. Jahrhundert von den Zisterziensern des Klosters Ebrach errichtet und stellt ein wertvolles Zeugnis der zisterziensischen Wasserbaukunst dar. Die heutige Anlage aus Sandstein stammt aus dem Jahre 1842. Die Abtei Ebrach hatte als Grund- und Dorfherr Verfügungsgewalt über diese Wasserweiche. Die Bachweiche diente der Regulation von Hochwässern, der Entwässerung von Auenbereichen und der bedarfsweisen Bewässerung von Wiesenflächen. Heute fließen zwei Drittel des Wassers im Unkenbach Richtung Sulzheim-Schwebheim, ein Drittel im Lämmerbach Richtung Alitzheim-Herlheim.
