Old town of Göllheim
Göllheim offers a very interesting and almost completely preserved old town from the 17th and 18th centuries.
- 1 Protestant Church. The Protestant Church in Göllheim actually consists of two buildings. The tower of the church still comes from the first medieval church, which was demolished in the 18th century due to dilapidation, while the current nave is an early classicist hall from 1765.
- 2 Catholic Church of St. John Nepomuk. The Catholic Church is also called "North Palatinate Cathedral" because of its dimensions and is the largest church building in the area. The church was built between 1909 and 1911 in neo-Gothic style on a hill east of the old town and is a building that can be seen from afar it is the third Catholic church in Göllheim after the medieval church at the location of today's Protestant church and the Holy Cross Church not far from today's location, which had to be demolished shortly after construction due to poor building ground.

However, two of the city gates were rebuilt in the 18th century: the 4 Candlesheim Gate is located at the southern end of the main road on the arterial road in the direction of Kerzenheim.

This is at the other end of the main street in the direction of Dreisen 5 Dreisener Tor, which until today has to be driven through by vehicle traffic in the direction of the town center.
