Here you can find information about Landskron Castle: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Landskron_(Oppenheim)

story Before Landskron Castle was built, there was probably a Salic or Hohenstaufen fortification on the same site, which was owned by King Henry V and destroyed in 1118 by troops of Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz. The castle itself was probably built in the early 13th century. The oldest surviving written mention of the "Reichsburg Oppenheim" comes from 1244. This castle was destroyed in 1257 and 1275 by the citizens of Oppenheim in a dispute with the Burgmannen over their privileges. However, Rudolf von Habsburg forced the citizens to rebuild the castle by 1281. In 1375 Emperor Charles IV pledged the castle to Ruprecht von der Pfalz. Accordingly, Ruprecht had the castle expanded. He was succeeded by his grandson Ruprecht III. as the owner of the castle, who also died there. In 1615, Elector Frederick V had the castle rebuilt like a palace. The castle burned down in the Thirty Years' War during the town fire in Oppenheim

Since 2017, there has been a true-to-scale cast bronze tactile model of the Gothic Oppenheim Cathedral (scale 1:100) in front of the south facade of St. Catherine's Church. A great thing... especially for our fellow blind people!

The Catherine Church in Oppenheim is one of the most important Gothic churches between Strasbourg and Cologne! Source: https://www.rheinhessen.de/katharinenkirche/0 But it is also worth taking a look behind the Katharinenkirche. There is an ossuary (charnel house) in the Michaelskapelle. It is one of the largest and best preserved ossuaries in the world!

From the impressive castle ruins you have a great view over Oppenheim and the Rhine plain 👍 https://www.regionalgeschichte.net/rheinhessen/oppenheim/kulturdenkmaeler/burg-landskron.html

Fantastic! Must see! A really impressive facade, with many gargoyles. Also beautiful inside, incredibly beautiful windows and many old tombstones. Be sure to check out the ossuary at the back of the church. Open until 5 p.m., after which the gates are closed. (Maybe interesting for all hikers, there is also a clean toilet here.)

A lot could be written about the St. Catherine's Church, it is simply highly impressive and beautiful! After my visit, I could well imagine that the St. Catherine's Church is considered the most important Gothic building on the Rhine between Cologne and Strasbourg! 👍

In 1317 the Archbishop of Mainz had a pen at the Katharinenkirche, d. H. the facility was assigned to a community of clergymen who had to hold regular services (collegiate foundation). After 1400 the canons added their own choir in the west (consecrated in 1439). The Katharinenkirche had been a Lutheran parish church since 1556 and a Reformed parish church in Oppenheim since 1565. After the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, the church was finally handed over to the Reformed, until it served as a common house of worship for the Union Lutherans and Reformed from 1822.
