These rooms are reached via a beautiful stone spiral staircase in the staircase of the round tower. On the broad side of the…

Whether from the A63, the Paris Street (L401), or the B420 towards Nierstein – the Protestant Mountain Church is visible from many directions and impressively situated among the vineyards. The building is oriented in the style of a Romanesque basilica and unites different architectural epochs: a square Romanesque tower, a Gothic nave, and a late Gothic choir.
