Eltzer Hof, Private mansion in Mainz, Germany

The three-story baroque building features eighteen window axes, rusticated pilaster strips, and two ornate portals beneath a mansard hipped roof.

Built in 1742 for Count Anselm Casimir of Eltz, the mansion suffered extensive damage during the 1942 bombing of Mainz and underwent reconstruction from 1964 to 1970.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe visited the mansion in August 1792 to meet with Prussian statesman Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom Stein within these walls.

Located at Bauhofstrasse 3-5 near the Golden Ross Barracks, the building currently undergoes renovations to create apartments, offices, and retail spaces.

The mansion merged with neighboring Dalberg-Hammelburger Hof in 1774, forming a larger complex known as the Eltzer yards.
