The local museum of local history is certainly worthwhile for young and old explorers of times past. It is located in the former manor house of the old noble family of Harxthausen, built around 1600.

Over 10 years ago, an idea gradually became reality. The Guntersblum initiative "Rotkehlchen" planned and built an attractive viewing point in the southern district of Guntersblum, the Leckbart-Haisje. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 13, 2007. Over 1,000 hours of voluntary work went into creating this vineyard cottage as a gem in the middle of the vineyards. The official opening and inauguration finally took place in April 2008. Today, the RheinTerrassenWeg and the Lutherweg lead directly past the Leckbart-Haisje. The…
The building is in neo-Gothic style and features a rectangular choir apse. There is a beautiful rose window on the choir wall. The ceiling is artistically and richly decorated with ornaments designed in a green tendril pattern with fruits and flowers, symbolizing creation. A highlight is the Rococo Madonna, restored in 1999, which now stands on a sandstone stele in front of the left front wall, in front of the choir. In 1998, the church was expanded with the addition of a choir extension and a new sacristy.
Shaped from fire and water: The Goose Rock Formation From the Salinental, one looks eastwards to a rock formation that looks like a huge slagheap. This was given its name in Celtic times: "Ganda", i.e. steep slope with rock debris. Elementary forces have shaped the goose. 280 million years ago, magma came to the surface from the earth's interior, solidified and formed a rock massif to which both Rotenfels and Rheingrafenstein belong. The Nahe - Celtic "Nawa" - carved its way into this rock and dug its way deeper and deeper into it. This is…
The church is the oldest building in the town. There was originally a wooden basilica here, which was mentioned as early as the 9th century, followed by a stone building from the 13th century. The choir with sacristy visible today dates from 1492 and the tower was built around 1520 as a defensive tower. The nave was expanded into three naves in 1911 based on Gothic styles.
The Johanniterhof was first mentioned in a document in 1306. Parts of the building fabric are even older. After 500 years of belonging to the Order of St. John, the estate was divided into three manor farms under Napoleon. The former size of the entire complex is still clearly recognizable today.

The best-preserved gate of the former town fortifications, first mentioned in 1401, once formed the eastern exit to Wackernheim and Mainz in Aufhofstraße - known as Uffhub in local dialect. The complex is characterised by a pointed arched gate and round oriel above console friezes. Parts of a pitch nose and key embrasures have been preserved, as have the deep mortises of the former wooden gate wings.
