Karmeliterkirche

The Carmelite Church features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses characteristic of medieval religious architecture from the 14th century.

The church originated in 1285 when wealthy citizens and nobles funded its construction, later serving as a military warehouse during French occupation in 1798.

The central choir window incorporates the Mainz city coat of arms and displays two representations of the Mainzelmännchen figures.

The religious building, located at Karmeliterstraße 7 in Mainz, maintains regular opening hours and continues to hold church services.

The building contains a high altarpiece from the 14th century with a 1517 relief and modern stained glass windows designed by Jan Schoenaker in 1970.
