large castle. Today the district court is located there

A beautiful castle that is worth visiting and visiting.

Legend has it that even in the Middle Ages, the wines were so good that the cellar master would lick the barrel's tap to get every last drop. https://www.rheinhessen.de/weinlagen/l-osthofener-leckzapfen

This is a beautiful historic building

There is a stamp for the St. James pilgrims in the castle café.

Miniature Castle Leckzapfen (1891) - Osthofen 🚴‍♂️ Tasty or licking, or both? And which tap? The tap or a tattoo? The location is named after the miniature castle "Leckzapfen," built in 1891 by Gustav Friedrich Weißheimer, a landowner and mill owner from Osthofen, which is why it was also called "Gustavsburg" in its early days. The brick and clinker building with a round tower on the side is a true gem – and bears a resemblance to the famous fairytale Lichtenstein Castle. After years of decay, it was lovingly renovated and voted "Rheinhessen's Most Beautiful Vineyard Cottage" in 2011. From its balcony, you can enjoy a magnificent view over Osthofen, the Rhine plain, and the Rhenish-Hessian hills. Legend has it that even in the Middle Ages, the wines were so good that the cellar master would lick the barrel's tap to get every last drop. 🚴‍♂️ https://www.rheinhessen.de/weinlagen/l-osthofener-leckzapfen-409

The complex, which was probably built in the 13th century, was the nucleus of the Rhenish County Palatine, secondary residence and seat of the Oberamt administration. Especially under the two Ruprecht, Count Palatine Ruprecht II and Ruprecht III, who as Ruprecht I was German king from 1400-1410, Alzey Castle was one of the favorite residences of the Count Palatine. Ruprecht II was therefore sometimes dubbed the "Duke of Alzey" and during the reign of King Ruprecht, Alzey and its castle were even considered the "chancellor's office" of the empire due to the large number of documents issued here. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the castle was expanded into a representative palace complex, which was severely damaged in the Palatinate War of Succession. In the aftermath of the romantically inspired wave of castle restorations in the 19th century, the ruins of Alzey Castle were rebuilt in historic splendor at the beginning of the 20th century. Since then it has been used as a district court and also houses a boarding school. Source: www.alzey.de
