The cellar alley runs along the southern support wall of the marketplace. Here are the entrances to twelve vaulted cellars, which were already mentioned around 1600 and extend far beneath the marketplace. They are part of the once extensive and interconnected cellar system, another feature of the wine-growing village. Even today, some of the cellars are used for wine storage and can be visited during the annual cellar tour that takes place during the grape blossom festival.
The Ebernburg Castle is enthroned on a hill high above the Bad Münster am Stein district. It dominates the town and landscape.

For centuries there has been a large country estate just outside the medieval town wall of Bad Kreuznach - today it is a romantic tree garden, which was created in the 19th century as a landscape park. The pond in the park dates back to the 18th century, when a moated castle stood here. Over the years, however, the park was repeatedly redesigned by its changing owners. Today, the Schlosspark Museum is located in the middle of the park, which together with the pond forms an aesthetic unit that in itself is worth visiting.
Windeck Castle in the centre of the district of Heidesheim was built by the knight Herdegen zu Winternheim in 1209 in the style of a tower castle with Gothic residential buildings. Originally, it was probably a moated castle with a moat and a curtain wall. Various owners used the castle as a residence, tannery and perforated mill, but also for religious services, before the municipality of Heidesheim am Rhein acquired it in 1993 with the aim of saving it from decay. Today, the building houses a community centre, a mayor's office and a wedding…
The town hall is two-storeyed, built of small field and quarry stones, which were quarried in the Gewann Steinkaut, called " Steinstück " in earlier centuries. The corners are made of house stones. The round tower attached to the building in the Renaissance style makes it possible to use the upper rooms of the town hall inside completely, as can be seen in many former noble houses in the 16th and 17th centuries. These rooms are reached via a beautiful stone spiral staircase in the staircase of the round tower. On the broad side of the…
