As the former Dalsheim town hall, the building was once the centre of the village administration. The earlier designation "by dem Dantzhuse" refers to a larger hall that served the village community as a festival hall and meeting room. A community hall that was destroyed in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689 is mentioned in 1674. Today, the building is used as a training room for the Malteser as well as a storage room.

The menhirs date back to prehistoric times. Of the once larger group, three are still preserved today. The well-known "Hinkelstein" is still located near its original site at the southern edge of the village.

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…
The Catholic Church in Köngernheim is a branch church of St. Walburga in Friesenheim and today belongs to the parish of St. Mary Magdalene. Since its foundation in 2016, this parish has comprised the parishes of Friesenheim, Undenheim, and Weinolsheim. The church was consecrated in 1932. The interior of the church building is a simple space.
The Catholic parish church of St. Walburga was built in 1740. The Baroque hall church with a choir enclosed on three sides was formerly used as a simultaneous church. On the gallery of the parish church, you will discover a real treasure: the single-manual, eleven-stop organ built in 1763 by Joseph Anton Onimus. It is the only surviving organ by the famous organ builder and was lovingly renovated in 1993 by the company Förster und Niclaus.
