Altmünsterkirche, Protestant church in central Mainz, Germany
The Altmünsterkirche features two white towers and stands between Münsterstraße and Walpodenstraße in the historic district of Mainz.
Saint Bilhildis established the church around 700 AD as a women's convent, which followed Benedictine rules before transitioning to the Cistercian order in the 13th century.
The church held the Sudarium of Christ, a significant religious artifact that was displayed during Easter Monday celebrations before being transferred to Mainz Cathedral.
The building contains two organs that students from the Mainz Music Academy use for practice sessions during weekdays and performances on weekends.
The structure underwent complete reconstruction in the 1950s by architect Otto Vogel, who relocated the main entrance to Walpodenstraße and modified the Renaissance elements.
