Mannheim Palace Church, Baroque church at Mannheim Palace, Germany
Mannheim Palace Church is a baroque chapel within Mannheim Palace, built from sandstone with elaborate stucco and typical features of 18th-century German baroque style. The building combines simple exterior structures with richly decorated interiors, where ceilings and walls are continuously ornamented.
The chapel was built starting in 1731 as a court church for the Palatinate rulers and served this family until 1777. Its construction was linked to the expansion of the palace by the absolute monarchs of the region.
The church takes its name from its role as a court chapel and displays the baroque splendor that rulers of the time wanted to showcase. Visitors can still see the elaborate stucco work on walls and ceilings that reflected the self-image of the era.
The chapel is located within Mannheim Palace and is open to visit throughout the year, though it helps to check ahead if religious services are planned. Good shoes are useful since you'll want to explore all the interior spaces and access involves several stairways.
The chapel houses three historic bells, two of which were cast by Blasius Sattler in 1731 and still retain their original sound today. These bells are rare examples of early 18th-century craftsmanship that remain virtually unmatched in their quality.
