Wiesbaden Heritage Sites

This collection spans centuries of architectural history across Wiesbaden and Mainz. Highlights include the 1,000-year-old Mainz Cathedral, the Roman Sanctuary of Isis and Mater Magna, and the medieval Iron Tower. The list also features Wiesbaden’s Neo-Gothic Marktkirche, the neoclassical City Palace, and various hilltop castle ruins like Sonnenberg and Frauenstein. From 8th-century churches to the grand 19th-century Kurhaus, these sites illustrate the region’s evolution from a Roman outpost to a regal spa city and state capital.
