The Renaissance draw well is one of the town's landmarks.

Only fragments of the Old Castle in Helmstadt, a former moated castle, are still visible. The castle was destroyed in 1694, and a farm was then built partly on the old foundations, the main building of which dates from 1757. Some of the farm buildings built around 1900 bear inscriptions or coats of arms that name the Lords of Berlichingen as the builders. In the middle of the courtyard is a Renaissance-style draw well reconstructed around 1900. It is the only monument from ancient times and its appearance allows us to conclude that the castle was probably richly furnished. The two front sides bear the coats of arms of the Lords of Dienheim, Venningen, the Schenken von Geyern, the Lords of Helmstadt, Seckendorff and Neiperg.
