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. https://www.rheinhessen.de/a-leininger-schloss

The keep has been preserved and can be climbed. The upper (narrow) section is a bit dark, but the climb is worth it!

The customs tower was built around the year 1000 as a pass barrier on the road between Mainz and Bad Kreuznach! The name goes back to a legend of Saint Ursula of Cologne! On her way back from a pilgrimage to Rome, she crossed the Selz here with her entourage of 11,000 virgins. In the hope that another 11,000 virgins would follow the same path, the Schnorressänger from Elsheim took over the sponsorship in 2006.

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
