Whether you are coming from the Autobahn (A63), the Pariser Strasse (L401) or the federal road (B420) in the direction of Nierstein, you can see the Protestant mountain church in the middle of the vineyards from almost anywhere. The mountain church, built in the style of a Romanesque basilica, impresses with an ensemble of different architectural styles - the square Romanesque tower, the Gothic nave and the late Gothic chancel. After a fire in the 16th century, the high choir with ogival windows and star vaults was added, so that only the central nave of the three-nave Romanesque basilica has survived. Hence its middle name "Nave in the Sea of Vines". A special feature that the mountain church has to offer in addition to its architecture is its direct relationship to the surrounding cultural landscape. In the west tower of the mountain church is the Palmenstein, a two and a half meter high hewn stone column with a later Christian relief attachment - a pagan tree of life. Viewing: Closed outside of church services. Those interested can obtain the key from the sexton Edith Breyer-Schmelzer, Tel.: 06732 / 62276
