    The moated castle ("old castle") and winery building in the old town area formed the so-called manorial winery courtyard until 1819 and was separated from the city by walls and gates.
    Parts of the winery building and the old moated castle can be assigned to the year 1425/26 based on the C14 method in combination with dendrochronology. From 1717 to 1719, the Mainz Elector and Archbishop Lothar Franz von Schönborn had the winery building expanded.

      The adjoining tower is the "Hexenturm". It is proven that women who were accused/slandered as witches were imprisoned here.
