The Catholic parish church of St. Peter in Ketten is a single-nave hall building with coffered ceiling, built in 1725 in the neo-Gothic style in the centre of Gau-Bischofsheim. The choir windows were designed by the well-known painter and glass artist Heinz Hindorf in collaboration with the glass workshop R. Münch.

The “Johann Geissel organ” in the church is the oldest church…
In 2004, two predecessor buildings of the Saal Church were discovered during archaeological excavations on the Saalplatz. The older of these buildings is a so-called tri-apsidal church (Trikonchos), named after its three semicircular building ends, which resemble the shape of a cloverleaf remember.

As part of the secularization, the monastery was dissolved in 1802. Over a century later, in 1924, the church returned to the mendicant order that had been established in Mainz since 1270. In the meantime, it served as a storage space and was preserved only thanks to the protests of the citizens of Mainz against its demolition. The construction of the current monastery began in 1963, and since 1964, monks…
Today's Dreikönigskirche (Church of the Three Kings) in Neugasse was not completed until 1935. Although the architecture of the building is very simple, its windows radiate impressive splendor. Particularly noteworthy is the large, three-part window in the south wall, which bathes the church in bright, radiant light on Sundays when the sun shines. Instead of a bell tower, the church has a ridge turret in which three bronze bells hang, which were cast in Heidelberg in 1959.
