Kurmainzer Amtshof, Medieval castle in Heppenheim, Germany
The Kurmainzer Amtshof complex features a pentagonal shape constructed with rubble stone and timber framing, including a Gothic stair tower with a baroque dome.
Built after the city fire of 1369, the castle served as an administrative center for the Upper Archdiocese of the Electorate of Mainz until the Thirty Years War.
The Kurfürstensaal hall displays Gothic wall paintings from the 15th century, depicting angels holding coats of arms and playing musical instruments.
The tourist information center at Friedrichstraße 216 opens Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 15:00 and Saturday from 10:00 to 13:00.
The Free Democratic Party of Germany was established in this castle on December 11, 1948, with Theodor Heuss elected as its first chairman.
