Culture and sights

The main street shows the well-preserved townscape of the 17th to 19th centuries in dense and almost closed development, which is characterized by mostly gable houses.

Catholic Parish Church of St. Philip and James

Evangelical parish church

The Catholic Church of St. Philip and James was built in 1775. It is a large-sized hall building with a choir closed on three sides and a richly structured west facade in line with the main street. The coat of arms of the founders and local lords, the Counts of Schönborn , and a niche with a wooden figure of Mary from an Annunciation group are located above the rococo-style entrance door . Thanks to the roof turret with onion dome, the building defines the townscape from afar. Particularly noteworthy are the high altar from 1775, probably from the house chapel of the Counts von Eltz in Mainz; the organ built by Friedrich and Konrad Grosch from Partenheim in 1788/89 with the richly decorated organ front and the work renewed in 1909 by Michael Körfer ( Gau-Algesheim ) and a wooden immaculata by the Mainz sculptor Martin Biterich (* 1691 in South Tyrol; † 1759 in Mainz ).

South of the Catholic Church is the former Schönbornsche Amtskellerei , which was built in late Baroque style in 1783 and was used as a Catholic parsonage from 1807 to the 1980s at the latest. Inside the two-storey solid building with a half -hipped roof , a beautiful wooden staircase with a decorated railing, a wooden lambris and the door leaves with partly original decorative fittings have been preserved from the time it was built. On the upper floor, two adjacent rooms with simple stucco ceilings and oven niches are particularly noteworthy, which can be fed through an oven chamber accessible from the hallway. In the vaulted cellar of the property, which was built on the site of the Schönborn aristocratic residence near the former south gate, there may still be remains of an older defense structure, as the walls are unusually strong at over three meters.

The Protestant church is a large, classical hall building in good proportions by the Mainz city architect Augustin Wetter from the years 1827–1829. It was built on the site of a previous building first mentioned in a document in 1341, which was under the patronage of the St. Alban Monastery in Mainz . Worth mentioning is the organ prospect from 1720, in which a work by Ernst Klassmeier , Matorf-Kirchheide near Lemgo , was installed in 1866 . Today there is an Oberlinger plant in it . Due to the tower that can be seen from afar, the church is characteristic of the town. It is one of the most important examples of the classicist country church building in Rheinhessen and is particularly noteworthy because of the monumentalization of the church interior typical of the time (cf. the Protestant churches in Bodenheim , Schwabenheim an der Selz , Sprendlingen ).

In addition, the Protestant rectory from 1749 and numerous half-timbered houses and vineyards, especially along the main street, are worth seeing.
