Mainz Apartments

Thanks to its ancient history Mainz has always been used as a connection point between Eastern and Western Europe. Because of this fact the city became the center of a bishopric yet in 747. This fact is the main reason for numerous churches and cathedrals found here. The historical center of Mainz - St. Martin and Stephen Cathedrals - has a large number of aisles and chapels, several organs and an unforgettable sacristy. Behind this grandiose building flows Rhine that is usually full of numerous small and large tourist boats. Another magnificent church is built near the train station. This is a gothic church built in XIV century. Stained glass windows for this church were created by Marc Chagall himself and feature various stories from the Bible.
