The former Lutheran church in Alzey was built in 1728/29. It is called the "small church" because it is rather dainty compared to Alzey's other churches. The Lutherans had to finance the construction of their church themselves because they had no share in the church's assets. The parish website. The simple, Baroque hall church still houses an organ from the renowned Hunsrück organ-building family Stumm, dating from 1737, in the gallery. At the southwest corner, there is a Romanesque base with corner spires. When St. Nicholas' Church became unusable in 1794, Alzey's Reformed congregation held its services in the small church that year. [Note 1] After the church union in 1822, the small church was initially abandoned. After being used by the Catholics for a time, it served again between 1844 and 1848 as a replacement for St. Nicholas' Church, which was being renovated at the time. In 1873, the demolition of the small church was planned, but the plan was later scrapped. Instead, the small church was equipped with heating, new galleries, and stairs, making it usable even in winter. Further renovations took place in 1930, when, among other things, a sacristy was added. In 1992, a support association was founded to promote the preservation of the church. At its initiative, further renovations were carried out in 1995/96. In 2004/05, the roof was completely replaced, and the exterior walls were plastered, restoring the original Baroque appearance of the small church.

The "new church" was built between 1736 and 1745. The architect was Caspar Valerius from Heidelberg. He also built numerous Reformed churches, including those in Waldmichelbach, Schollbrunn, Hemsbach, Fürth im Odenwald, Schönau auf dem Dillberg, Spiesheim, and Pfaffen-Schwabenheim. His churches follow a uniform basic design: a nave with three to four axes, followed by a recessed choir. This has a semicircular apse on the inside, but polygonal (= three-sided) on the outside. The architectural style is rural Baroque. The church contains a wooden high altar from 1757 with the Pietà (the depiction of the body of Christ). It has several columns and pilasters on the right and left. Between the columns on the left stands John the Baptist, and between the columns on the right stands Bartholomew. Two wooden side altars are dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. John of Nepomuk. Both date from the mid-18th century and contain 19th-century figures. The wooden pulpit on the west wall dates from 1745, and the baptismal font, made of light sandstone, dates from the mid-18th century. The two confessionals also date from the mid-18th century. A silent organ was installed in 1788 and 1789. The Baroque appearance of the high altar, with its central image of St. Nepomuk, was significantly altered at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, respectively. During a complete restoration at this time, the image from the center of the altar was removed, and the altar was rebuilt into its present state. A special feature of the church is the church tower. It is owned by the local congregation and replaced the old, dilapidated parish tower, which housed the parish bell and the church bells. This tower is completely separate from the church, although it is directly attached. Source: Karl Müller - The History of Erbes-Büdesheim

The Seckerborn spring (also called "Brünnelschen") is located on the hilltop of Kahlenberg, northwest of Wendelsheim. Particularly beautiful agate almonds were discovered here during vineyard clearing. From here, you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the trulli, Riedertal, and the Eckelsheim surf cliff.
