The central attraction of the Rochusberg is the pilgrimage church of St. Rochus, built in 1895 in neo-Gothic style. The first chapel was built on this site in 1666.

Bad Münster am Stein - Ebernbu
Not far from the mighty backdrop of the Rotenfels in Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, the sculptors Kubach-Wilmsen built their open-air studio in 1968. Almost their entire life's work was created in this landscape. Since 2001 they have been transforming the abandoned vineyards into a stone sculpture park that is open to the public. A natural landscape in the Nahe valley opens up to the visitor and observer with stone sculptures as stone piece works of the earth. Nearly 30 sculptures have already found their place in this landscape. The…
Above the castle, on the walled former cemetery, stands the evangelical church of St. Peter, which originally served as a fortified church. Castle and church used to be connected by an underground passage. When the Romanesque church was destroyed by fire in 1435, the tabernacle with the hosts inside miraculously remained intact. This so-called "Miracle of the Host" gave rise to pilgrimages. The new church was completed in late Gothic style at the end of the 15th century. With its old paintings and grave commemorative plaques, it is an…
Main Signpost Intersection Adam Elsheimer Circular Trail In the place of today's Hiebergturm, there used to be a shelter made of field stones, which probably belonged to the Selz position of the Mainz fortress and was demolished after World War I. In the 1960s, the Hiebergturm was built here on its foundations as a base for starling control, which was renovated in 1985. The outdoor area and tower were later redesigned and were ceremonially inaugurated in 2014.
A church in Monsheim was first mentioned in 1496 - a fortified church in the Romanesque style. The bell tower with its three bells dates back to 1878. In 1904/05, the form that can be seen today was created by adding the vestibule on the north side and creating a choir room. A modernisation phase from 1965-74 gave the church interior a rather cool objectivity. The interior renovation carried out in 2000 gave the church back its Art Nouveau paintings and thus its special touch. Text taken from Rundgang Monsheim with kind permission.Former…
