The parish church of St. Quintin is regarded as the oldest parish church in Mainz (it is mentioned in a document from 774). It is a late Gothic hall church that was built between 1288 and 1330. Its tower was built in 1489 and also housed a tower keeper's apartment.

Saint Quintin is depicted as an oversized statue on the left side of the high altar - he is the patron saint of prisoners. On the right side…

The core of the evangelical church dates from the 12th century and was built over in 1722. The interior of the church, which is well worth seeing, contains the altar donated in 1906 from the bequest of Elisabetha Kullmann, on which stands a designed turning cross.
