Electoral Palace

The Electoral Palace features corner turrets, decorated facades, and multiple wings stretching along the Rhine River in central Mainz.

Construction began in 1627 under Archbishop Georg Friedrich von Greiffenklau, with delays during the Thirty Years War until completion in 1752.

The palace houses the Romano-Germanic Central Museum in its east wing, displaying artifacts from prehistoric times through the early Middle Ages.

The north wing functions as Congress Centrum Mainz, offering multiple halls and rooms that accommodate up to 1,700 participants for various events.

The palace hosts the annual Mainz carnival television program, continuing a tradition that began with the first post-war event in 1949.
