Due to my many travels to Colombia and Panamá I have visited many outstanding cathedrals and…read morereligious places. So whenever I´m in Mainz I have to visit the cathedral. In my eyes the most beautiful place you can visit in Mainz. Once inside take your time to checkout all the monuments and paintings. There are lots of them. Go downstairs and visit the little chapel. Take a seat make a prayer and simply relax and soak in the atmosphere. If you go visit on a Tuesday or Friday you might want to take some extra time to visit the local market which is just outside of the cathedral. Buy some fruits, fresh honey (they also have candles made out of honey), spices, etc. or simply enjoy some sweets. If you visit Mainz make sure to visit the Cathedral. Even if you´re not a religious person or a person with different belief. The Cathedral is impressive and well worth a visit or two ;-)

I didn't stop walking until I found a way to it....it's georgeous from afar and up close. If you are properly dressed, please go inside to view the archtecture. Amazing! Just remember, this is a church were local Russians worship so don't be the stupid American going in there talking or taking pictures...it's rude to those worshiping and practicing their faith.

BEAUTIFUL STAINED GLASS WINDOWS BY MARC CHAGALL…read more=============================================== My husband and I had a day to explore Mainz and this church was probably on the top of my list. I had previously seen stained glass windows created my Marc Chagall in Rheims, France and I wanted to see the ones at St. Stephan's too. If you are in Mainz for a day I highly recommend a visit.

St. Stephan is a large Gothic church in Mainz that although the original structure was built in…read more990, the building you see today was started in 1267 and through the years additional sections were added thru the 14th century. It is the oldest Gothic hall Church in the Upper Rhine district of Germany and is known for it's stained glass windows created by Marc Chagall. The church was heavily damaged by bombing during WWII and parts of the vaulted ceiling were unable to be restored leaving sections with a flat ceiling. Nine blue stained glass windows were created by Marc Chagall between 1978 and 1985. His contribution to post-war Jewish-German reconciliation. It's really not and easy location to access by car. GPS took us through a neighborhood and then wanted us to go down a street that was blocked off by bollards. We did end up happening upon the church luckily after a couple of attempts. There is not much parking here at all so it's probably best to park elsewhere and walk in. The church itself is not ornate or filled with murals as many other European churches are. If that is what you are hoping for, you will be disappointed. This is an historical structure. Read up on the structure's history and Marc Chagall's contribution before visiting. Definitely worth a visit for it's architectural and historical significance.

He spent time with me after mass and shared stories about the church and how the English mass came to be from airline crews laying over in Mainz. He did not speak English but learned so he could say mass for us. So grateful.
