Electoral Palace

Hotels near Electoral Palace, Wiesbaden, Germany .

The Electoral Palace in Mainz (called the “Kurfürstliches Schloss zu Mainz“ in German) is the former home of the Archbishop of Mainz, and one of the most important historical Renaissance-style buildings in Germany. Built in 1475, the building was heavily damaged in World War II (1945), after which time only its exterior walls remained. It was rebuilt in 1949.

The Electoral Palace is one of the last examples of German Renaissance architecture. The exterior has turrets at every corner and is richly decorated, especially around the windows. The roofs have been restored to exact historical specifications.

The Museum of Roman and Germanic History is housed within the east wing of the Palace today. This contains replicas and original antiques representing the culture of prehistoric times, the Roman Empire, and the early Middle Ages.

There are seven halls and more smaller rooms within the palace, and it can accommodate an audience of 1700 for staged events.

Today it is on UNESCO's World Heritage list.

Accommodations in the area include the Hilton Mainz, on the left bank of the River Rhine, for $215 USD per night (kids under 18 stay free with parents); the City-Hotel Neubrunnenhof, for $130 USD per night including breakfast; and the Hilton Mainz City, a four-star hotel located in the Old Quarter of Mainz for $185 USD per night.
