The owners were the Barons von Wallbrunn and von Wambold, who were able to continue their originally rich, knightly rule together until the end of the 18th century, when the French occupied the left bank of the Rhine. The seat of power of the von Wallbrunns was Wallbrunn Castle, which was located below the fortified church. It was built in 1459 AD and is said to have been connected to the church by underground passages. The church was built in 1190 AD and burned down in 1435 AD. After its reconstruction, it became a place of pilgrimage for many believers, because the fire had spared the monstrance with the hosts - after such great destruction, this was nothing short of a miracle! The original, old stained glass windows and the altar of the church can be viewed in the museum in Darmstadt. From 1467 to 1790 AD, the von Wallbrunns were uninterrupted rulers of Partenheim. However, during the French Revolution, the German nobility was expelled from the left bank of the Rhine, and Partenheim also fell victim to the French occupation. The widow of the last Baron von Wallbrunn, however, put up with the French rule and was able to save the property and the castle. She died in 1832 at the age of 82, and her son also died a few years later. With his death in 1838, the family died out, and the property passed to three Partenheim citizens.

Wallbrunn was probably built in the 14th century and has been rebuilt and expanded several times since then. Kuno von Wallbrunn zu Partenheim is said to have taken over major ownership rights in the village as early as 1493. In the 16th century, Hans Reinhard I von Wallbrunn lived permanently in Partenheim and is said to have played a major role in the reconstruction of the castle. This gave the building a Renaissance and Baroque influence. In 1834, the merchant Georg Dael took over the castle and sold it on just one year later to three families who still own the property today.

On the archway of Sörgenloch Castle is the coat of arms of Barons Köth von Wanscheid from the 18th century. The history of Sörgenloch Castle goes back to the 12th century. At that time, the place was owned by the St. Alban Monastery in Mainz and was more of an estate with a few residential buildings than a real town as we know it today. The estate's task was to supply the monastery with food and money through the so-called "tithe". However, it is unknown who managed the estate on behalf of the monastery. The place attracted attention around the same time that Sörgenloch Castle was built. At that time, coins and vessels from the Iron Age and antiquity were found. The Celts and the Romans had also already settled here. The place around Sörgenloch Castle gained economic importance as an important place of pilgrimage in the 17th century. The money of the pilgrims who came to visit was also responsible for the fact that a simple manor house could be turned into the castle we see today a good 100 years later. The small Renaissance-style castle was built by the Köth-Wanscheid family, who ruled the town in the 18th century. Sörgenloch Castle is no longer owned by the local lords, but is run privately as a restaurant. Also part of the castle, but now independent, are the Catholic rectory and a second, former castle.

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

The owners were the Barons von Wallbrunn and von Wambold, who were able to jointly continue their originally knightly rule until the end of the 18th century, when the French occupied the left bank of the Rhine. The seat of power for the von Wallbrunns was Wallbrunn Castle, which was located below the fortified church. It was built in 1459 AD and is said to have once been connected to the church by underground passages. The church was built in 1190 AD and burned down in 1435 AD.

The original, old stained glass windows and the altar of the church can be viewed in the museum in Darmstadt. From 1467 to 1790 AD, the von Wallbrunns were rulers of Partenheim without interruption. During the French Revolution, however, the German nobility was expelled from the left bank of the Rhine, and Partenheim also fell victim to the French occupation.

Partenheim, a municipality with a rich historical tradition, has a remarkable and magnificent castle in the municipality of Wörrstadt next to Armsheim. Already under the Merovingians the place came to the Metz and Trier church and already in the year 863 Partenheim is attested as a bishopric of Metz. In 1158, Archbishop Hillin von Trier gave parts of the Partenheim estate to the Worms cathedral chapter in order to acquire Nassau Castle (Lahn). https://www.partenheim.de/index.php/tourismus/gebaeude/schloss-wallbrunn

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.
