Protestant Parish Church (1799/1866) - Eich on the Rhine 🚴♂️
Highlight • Religious Site
The Protestant Church in Eich is a basilica in the neoclassical style, built between 1841 and 1845. It was designed by a master builder from Mainz (1799-1866), who constructed the church in a spare and austere neoclassical style with references to ancient architecture. Greek columns are found inside as supporting elements for the galleries. The tower, which dominates the townscape, dates back to the 15th century but was raised in the mid-19th century and equipped with a surrounding gallery. The basement features a Gothic cross vault, the keystone of which depicts the Eich coat of arms. The roof, exterior facade, sandstone floor, and church tower were extensively renovated in 2011. ------------------------------
Directly in front of the old parish church square is an imposing war memorial from 1870/71, commemorating the fallen and missing German soldiers of that time. 🚴♂️

Leininger Castle (1708) / Town Hall - Guntersblum 🚴
Highlight • Castle
Located in the town center, Leiningen Castle has a rich history. The shell was completed in 1708, but further expansion was initially halted, as the then owner, Count Carl Ludwig von Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg, died in 1709. His wife, Countess Anna Sabina von Nostitz, sold the property to the Electoral Palatinate's Privy Council in 1717 due to financial difficulties. In the following years, the castle fell into disuse until, 70 years later, in 1787, a member of the Leiningen family once again became the owner. Count Wilhelm Carl zu Leiningen-Guntersblum renovated the impressive building and further expanded it for the purposes of the count's family. In 1833, the Guntersblum community acquired Leininger Castle at auction, and since 1834, it has officially been used as the town hall. Various administrative offices and the basement as an event space are also used.
The area in front of the castle was originally laid out as a sprawling castle park. Over time, this park was encroached upon by various buildings; today, a single fountain stands as a relic of bygone days. 🚴

Old Town Hall (1739) – Alsheim 🚴
Highlight • Historical Site
The town hall, a well-preserved half-timbered building with a hipped roof and a ridge turret, was completed in 1739 after the previous building was declared dilapidated and demolished in 1721. The Baroque building was financed through the granting of the municipal pasture. The building is divided into a half-timbered upper floor and a lower floor, made of solid sandstone and plastered. Above the entrance door is the Alsheim coat of arms. It contains two crossed bishop's crosiers with silver sudaria, representing the official and dignified symbols of the former patrons, Mainz and Worms. The coat of arms is likely taken from a court seal from 1501. Based on the engraved date "1606," it is assumed that it was removed from the previous building and reinserted into the new building. After its completion, the building initially served as an administrative office, but also as a court. It was renovated in 1979 and is still used as the town hall today. 🚴
