A mighty walling with corner towers encompasses the St. Alban vineyard. The "castle-like complex" probably dates from the time before secularization (1802) and was probably built by the knight monastery of Sankt Alban to delimit the area. The tower battlements are more recent.

The mighty stone wall surrounds the St. Alban vineyard and is strongly reminiscent of a knight's castle. It presumably dates from the period before secularization in 1802. It most likely served the St. Alban Knighthood as an area boundary.

I think the old Saint Albanus statue (made around 1900), which has slowly grown over, is nice.
