St. Christoph 's Church, Gothic church in Mainz, Germany
The stone walls of St. Christoph's Church rise against the Mainz skyline, featuring a Romanesque tower from 1240 and Gothic architectural elements from 1280.
After surviving centuries of changes, the church endured severe damage during World War II bombings in 1942 and 1945, with only external walls remaining standing.
The church maintains a connection to Johannes Gutenberg, housing a Gothic baptismal font with lion heads from the printing press inventor's era.
The church welcomes visitors throughout the week, offering guided tours that explain its architecture and wartime transformation into a memorial site.
Weekly peace prayers take place in the chapel, which contains the oldest organ in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Mainz, dating from 1667.
