Local government

The Kleinniedesheim Castle (also known as Propst Maudrai's Castle for family reasons) was built between 1733 and 1735 by the Electoral Cologne Privy Councillor von Steffne and sold by his son to Carl Christoph von Gagern. Since then, it has had frequently changing owners. Today, the southern part of the castle and the castle courtyard belong to the Westkirch family, whose ancestors came from Amsterdam. The north wing and part of the west wing with the entrance portal are owned by the municipality, which uses it as a community center. The castle underwent extensive renovation between 1985 and 1988.
