Stein Castle, also known as Zullestein, Stein Winery, Schlossberg, Schlossbuckel, was a lowland castle with an adjoining settlement near the village of Nordheim, in the Bergstraße district in Hesse. A burgus has been proven here since Roman times, the medieval castle was completely destroyed at the end of the 17th century and fell into oblivion. It was not until 1957 that the preserved foundations were rediscovered during oil drilling.

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
