Schönborner Hof, Baroque mansion in city center, Mainz, Germany.

The Schönborner Hof exhibits late baroque architecture with symmetrical wings, large windows, and ornate stone decorations across its three-story facade.

Construction began in 1668 under Prince-Elector Johann Philipp von Schönborn, with architect Clemens Hinkh leading the project alongside family architect Christophe Dientzenhofer.

The mansion now houses the Maison de France of Mainz and CinéMayence, fostering German-French cultural exchanges through various programs and events.

Visitors can access the building through the main entrance on Schillerstrasse, where regular cultural exhibitions and film screenings take place throughout the year.

Archaeological excavations in 2002 revealed an original baroque fountain in the former garden area, providing evidence of the historical water features.
