"Walking through the historical corridors: Feel the ancient charm of St. Stephen's Church"

Built in the 10th century, it was once an important religious site for the Bishop of Mainz. Its long history and exquisite Gothic architecture make people feel as if they are in a medieval corridor. As you approach the church, the towering towers, delicately carved arches and weathered stone walls all exude the accumulation of time. It is a great place to appreciate the beauty of historical buildings. 📅Game guide: • Opening hours: • Monday to Saturday: 10:00 - 17:00 • Sunday and holidays: 12:00 - 17:00 •Ticket Information: • Admission is free, and visitors are welcome to make voluntary donations to support the maintenance and repair of the church. • Tour highlights: 1.
