Mainz

Augustinerkirche

Behind the red sandstone portal, a modern glass entrance reveals magnificent Rococo decorations. In Augustinerstraße, the Augustinian hermits, who had been established since 1260, had a convent until 1802. The parish church was rebuilt along with the monastery from 1768 to 1772. Since 1805, this has been the location of the Episcopal seminary.

The 43 cut stones were discovered during construction work at the turn of the 20th century.
