The Catholic Parish Church of St. Gereon, built in 1716, is imposingly situated on a hill that offers visitors a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside. The church is listed as an architectural monument in the list of cultural monuments in Rhineland-Palatinate and houses an impressive high altar (1698) and beautiful ceiling paintings in the choir room by Hans Thumann from 1936. The RheinTerrassenWeg leads directly past the baroque hall building.
The church contains Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque elements. The flat-roofed choir was built in the mid-15th century and decorated with extensive wall paintings. On the left wall, there is a large painting of the Virgin Mary with her cloak spread out protectively. Saints are depicted between the four tracery windows. The base floor is decorated with a painted vine carpet, and the figures are crowned with rich faux architecture. Source: Liebfrauenland - Gothic in Rheinhessen

Somewhat hidden behind the café and directly next to the Drusus Stone on the Citadel lies the City Historical Museum in Building D – opened in 2003, but still almost a insider tip. The museum is a private institution and is funded by membership fees, donations, and entrance fees. The sponsor is the Mainz City Historical Museum Association, which was founded in 1996.
