The rectory in Rod an der Weil is one of the oldest surviving rectory in Hesse. The first pastor, named Syfried von Helse in 1283, lived in the rectory next to the church, the oldest parts of which are estimated to be from the 13th century. An extensive renovation must have been carried out by Pastor Johann Hell in 1522. An inscription bears witness to this. “Anno Domini 1522 Aedificata est per me Johann Hell”
The rectory was originally designed as a permanent house with defensive fortifications. Portcullises on the sides of the ogival, iron-clad door, a pitch window above, small barred windows and a “last refuge” hidden behind a fireplace are mentioned in descriptions from the 19th and 20th centuries. Still mentioned in the 19th century, they no longer exist today. This permanent house was the main building of a closed courtyard with a wall on the summit of the Kirchberg.
The use changed in the 19th century. In 1816 the parish property was leased and in 1843 the tithe was converted into a cash payment. Accordingly, from 1879 the farm was converted into a pure rectory and most of the utility buildings were demolished. The two-door half-timbered barn is still preserved. This was first mentioned in 1768. A beam dendrologically dated to 1702 probably comes from another house. The former barn has served as the parish's event venue since 2004.
