    Leiningen Castle, located in the town center, has a multifaceted past. The shell was completed in 1708, but no further expansion took place at first, 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 Electorate of the Palatinate's Privy Council in 1717 due to financial difficulties. In the years that followed, the castle fell more and more into oblivion until 70 years later, in 1787, a member of the Leiningen family again became the owner. Count Wilhelm Carl zu Leiningen-Guntersblum renovated the impressive building and expanded it further for the purposes of the count's family. In 1833, the castle became the property of the municipality of Guntersblum and has been officially used as a town hall since 1834. Since 2014, an administrative office for the Rhein-Selz municipality has also been located in the building. The basement is also used as an event space. The area in front of the castle was originally designed as a sprawling castle park. Over time, this park was pushed back by various buildings; today a single fountain holds the position as a relic of bygone days.
