One of the many trulli, the vineyard cottages with the Italian name, which served as shelters in the vineyard. This one stands directly on an old sunken path. Hollow paths have dug themselves deep into the surrounding terrain over the centuries. No wonder, where man has used and travelled them so extensively. At their edges are high embankments with interesting flora and fauna. There are not many paths of this kind left. The 'Monsheimer Hohl' was probably created by farmers from the northern communities bringing their grain south to…
Also worth seeing is the Wamboldscher Hof, a stately home in the middle of the village, built around 1770 in the Baroque style. The wide gateway with pilasters and the mansard roof are particularly striking. After the French Revolution, this stately building served as a schoolhouse until 1963 and is now the parsonage of the Protestant parish of Partenheim. Visits: By prior arrangement

Today, the authentic reconstruction of the last productive Rhine ship mill offers interesting and exciting insights into the technology and working conditions of past times.
The Untertorturm is one of the seven towers of the Fleckenmauer wall built in the 15th century for protection. The gate, which was knocked down in 1840, was previously operated day and night. The battlements led around the tower over the gate to the other side of the street. Until the renovation in 1989, the high entrance in the west was the only access to the three-storey watchtower.
