For a long time it was believed that the hall church was Charlemagne's palatine chapel. Archaeological excavations from 1960 to 1963 showed, however, that the church was not built until after the year 900, under Ottonian rule. However, the latest charcoal samples from the foundation date the church to the years 1027-1154, i.e. the time of the Salians. In 2004 archaeologists found two early medieval predecessor buildings to the north of the hall church during excavations. They probably served Charlemagne and the following rulers as a small…
The trullo, or rather the trulli (plural), as there are 6 of these vineyard houses around Flörsheim-Dalsheim, originally served as a shelter for the field marksmen (Wingertsschützen). At the time when most of these houses were built - in the middle of the 18th century - their main task was to protect the vines and the vineyard stakes from wood theft. The Trullo am Nussbaum in Flörsheim-Dalsheim was awarded a prize by the Rheinhessen Wine Brotherhood in 2016 - on behalf of all the Flörsheim-Dalsheim trulli - and stands at a…
The water tower built in 1906 on the Höllberg near Wöllstein is considered a landmark of the place. The listed tower was restored in 2025. It is a popular meeting point and picnic area and is located on the Küstenweg Rheinhessen hiking trail.
The former Rheingräflich von Salmsche court pharmacy was founded in 1728. The privilege to run a pharmacy was granted by the Raugraf von Salm to court pharmacist Friess. In 1790, the pharmacy was taken over by Dietrich Christ Dassel. The building was originally a baroque plaster construction and was renovated in a Gründerzeit style in 1886. Today, the pharmacy is owned by the Hohe family.
In the immediate vicinity of the Deutschherrenhof on Hauptstraße (main street), a few hundred meters west of the Protestant church, is the New Leiningen Palace. The history of the Deutschherrenhof, a cultural monument, dates back to the 15th century. It originally belonged to the Lock family from Hangen-Wahlheim. At the beginning of the 16th century, the estate fell to the Teutonic Order and has been called Deutschherrenhof ever since. At the beginning of the 18th century, the old estate buildings were demolished and completely rebuilt.…

Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg
The Rheingrafenstein is a 136 m high porphyry rock formation on the Nahe opposite Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg. Geologically, it belongs to the Kreuznach Massif.

A 200-hectare area around the rock formation was…
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…
