What To Expect

St. Stephan's Church (Stephanskirche)

Admired by more than 200,000 visitors a year, this major tourist attraction was originally built in 990 AD as the “Imperial Place of Prayer”. Today, St. Stephan’s Church contains 9 outstanding blue stained glass windows by the Jewish-Russian artist Marc Chagall. Already 89 years old, Chagall started designing his message of hope for this beautiful little church and finished the final window shortly before his death at the age of 97. Get to know the different scenes from the Old Testament like Adam and Eve in Paradise and Jacob's Dream then step into the small late Gothic cloister, one of the prettiest along the Middle Rhine.

It was an in-depth tour of Saint Stephan's church focusing on the windows but including the history of the church and the grounds. Our guide, Judith, was knowledgeable, engaging and so nice.
Stunning Chagall windows!

This is absolutely my favorite church, and having a personal tour with a guide that was knowledgeable and friendly made it special. We enjoyed multiple tours with the same guide so that we could make the most of our time in Mainz, and it was completely worth it to have an expert to show us all the best parts!
