Collégiale Saint-Victor devant Mayence, Religious complex in Weisenau, Mainz, Germany

The Saint-Victor Collegiate Church stood southeast of Weisenau with a main nave and architectural elements from different construction periods spanning several centuries.

Archbishop Willigis inaugurated the new church in the presence of Otto III between 994 and 995, establishing it as an imperial religious center.

The collegiate chapter maintained brotherhoods that included Johannes Gutenberg among their members, as documented in their historical records.

The collegiate church experienced complete destruction during the Second Margrave War on August 28, 1552, leading to the chapter's relocation within Mainz.

A street named Am Viktorstift in Weisenau preserves the memory of the Saint-Victor chapter, marking the location of this former religious institution.
