Kirschgarten, Medieval square in Mainz, Germany
The Kirschgarten features three-story half-timbered houses with detailed wooden carvings, arranged around a central sandstone fountain with a Madonna statue.
The square emerged during the Nova Civitas urban expansion in the 13th century and belonged to the immunity of the Mainz Cathedral Chapter.
The houses surrounding Kirschgarten display architectural elements from the 15th to 18th centuries, representing different periods of German building traditions.
Visitors can reach Kirschgarten using bus lines 64, 65, 70, and 92, which stop at the nearby Pfaffengasse station.
The house Zum Beimburg at number 19 contains three facades and displays the emblem of the bakers' guild from 1657.
