For centuries there has been a large country estate just outside the medieval town wall of Bad Kreuznach - today it is a romantic tree garden, which was created in the 19th century as a landscape park. The pond in the park dates back to the 18th century, when a moated castle stood here. Over the years, however, the park was repeatedly redesigned by its changing owners. Today, the Schlosspark Museum is located in the middle of the park, which together with the pond forms an aesthetic unit that in itself is worth visiting.

In 1855, the foundation stone was laid for the construction of the synagogue, which the local community acquired in 1900 for use as a kindergarten. Only until 1874 did the synagogue serve as a church. Thereafter, the building became the property of the Protestant parish, which originally wanted to demolish it to build a parish hall here. However, due to the objection of the state preservation of monuments, it did not happen. Even today, the synagogue is used as a Protestant parish hall.
