    The eleven thousand maiden tower is located on the western outskirts of Stadecken-Elsheim, at the junction of the old Mainz-Kreuznach road over the Selzbach. It was built in the 14th century and served in the Middle Ages as a customs station on the road from Mainz to Kreuznach. There every traveler had to cross the Selz. The tower is the remnant of a fortified gatehouse with two round corner towers. The hl. Ursula is said to have used the road with her 11,000 virgins on the way to Cologne - hence the name "eleven thousand maiden tower".
