Heylshof, Cultural heritage monument and landscape garden in Worms, Germany.

Heylshofpark features ancient trees, water elements, and sculptures while offering views of the Kaiserdom cathedral and Museum Heylshof building.

The grounds previously contained the Bishop's residence where Emperor Charles V stayed during the Diet of Worms in 1521 until its destruction in 1689.

A bronze relief by Gustav Nonnenmacher from 1971 illustrates the former bishop's palace view, with a lightning bolt symbolizing religious division.

The park opens daily at 9:00 AM until dusk, with access from Stephansgasse street, near multiple historical walking routes including the Luther Path.

Large bronze shoes titled 'Die Großen Schuhe Luthers' allow visitors to stand where Martin Luther refused to recant his writings in 1521.
