Worms Highlights

Worms highlights its dual identity as a pivotal center of the Protestant Reformation and a significant site of medieval Jewish heritage. The city features the world’s largest Reformation monument and the Museum Heylshof, situated on the grounds where Martin Luther defended his theses. Architectural landmarks include the late Gothic Liebfrauenkirche, famous for its surrounding vineyards, and the Romanesque St. Martin’s basilica. The city's cultural history is further preserved in the Nibelungen Museum and the Raschi-Haus, which documents centuries of Jewish life in the Rhine valley.
