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

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!

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

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

Around Osthofen there are a few vineyard cottages worth seeing that you can combine into a tour.

A little difficult to get there, but worth it
