The nine-axis Baroque main building of the Wendelsheim castle estate was built in 1758 under Rhinegrave Carl Magnus by court architect Leonard Reichel. The two-story structure features corner pilasters, a massive mansard hipped roof, and a columned portal on the ground floor. Around 1760, the restaurant Zum goldenen Engel (The Golden Angel) was established in one of the extensive outbuildings, the former stables, now Schlossgasse No. 3. The reason for this was that the Rhinegrave's brother, Ludwig, had brought his cook, Ernst Braun, from the court of Stanislaus Lescynshy in Lunéville after completing his military service in the French service. Braun could not find work as a cook at the court in Grehweiler, so he was provided with a livelihood in Wendelsheim.
