The Tiefburg in the Handschuhsheim district used to be a stately home. The core of the medieval moated castle still contains the foundation walls, the vaults of the residential tower and the defensive walls. The old manor house has been restored.
Today the Handschuhsheim district association, which is involved in monument preservation, resides here.
