    Hiking

    The historic town center can be found in front of the church. The church is open for visits (and prayers).

    "The Catholic local church of St. Stephan in Mainz-Gonsenheim was first mentioned in a document in 1401. [...]
    With several new constructions and renovations, most recently in 1906, the church acquired its current imposing form in the Neo-Gothic style with a nave over 62 meters long and two church towers almost 60 meters high. As it was the largest rural church in Rheinhessen, St. Stephan was soon referred to as the 'Rheinhessen Cathedral'."

    St. Stephen's Parish Church is not only a landmark of Gonsenheim, but also the largest church in Rhenish Hesse after Mainz Cathedral, and is therefore also called the 'Rhenish Hesse Cathedral'. A church has stood on this site for many centuries. The church, with its distinctive twin towers, was consecrated in its present form in 1906.
