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

The small church seems to have practically disappeared behind a high wall. The ground floor of the Romanesque chancel tower was rebuilt with an arched ceiling in the early 14th century. On the sides of both the tracery windows, on the east and south walls, paintings with their decoration have been preserved and show Peter and Paul as well as two ohter disciples or prophets. The delicately made figures stand under painted Wimperg arches. The sacristy, added in the 15th century, is very large and lavish compared to the chancel.
For several centuries, ship mills operated on the Rhine River near Ginsheim. Up to 21 of these floating small businesses for grain processing were anchored here simultaneously, before they had to make way for the rising industrialization and increasing shipping traffic. 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.

Surrounded by shady trees, the Old Johanneskirche, the oldest preserved building in the district of Ebernburg and indeed the entire city, stands in the cemetery.

The shell of the building was completed in 1708, but no further extensions were made at first as the owner at the time, Count Carl Ludwig von Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg, died in 1709. His wife, Countess Anna Sabina von Nostitz, sold the estate to the Electoral Palatinate Privy Council in 1717 due to financial hardship. In the years that followed, the castle fell more and more into oblivion until 70 years later, in 1787, a member of the Leiningen family once again became…
