Carmelite monastery

The Carmelite Monastery, located in the German city of Mainz, was founded in 1270 by monks of the Catholic Order of Carmelites and is still active. For many centuries, the building, built in the Gothic style of white brick, was subjected to various destructions, but the monks carefully restored it.

Now tourists can see a residential three-storey building and a church, built in 1350 with a characteristic island tower, strict lines and high arched windows. During World War II, the monastery was seriously damaged by bombing, but was rebuilt. In the church of the Carmelite monastery you can see ancient bas-reliefs and paintings of the XIV century, the altar, consecrated in 1517 and many other medieval religious decorations.
