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.

The 1863 monument of the Ludwigverein (an association of Grand Ducal Hessian civil servants from Gonsenheim) commemorates Gonsenheim's affiliation with the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt. The monument was later supplemented with a list of Gonsenheim residents who died in World War I.

The town hall in Mainz-Gonsenheim was built in 1615 by the cathedral provost – and later elector – Georg-Friedrich Greiffenklau von Vollraths. This Renaissance building is not only one of the most important town halls in the region, but also a rare example of this era. Located in the historic town center, this exceptionally dominant building is a testament to the development of the local administration and its need for representation. The massive, two-story plastered structure sits beneath a massive gable roof. The upper floors are accessed by a stair tower with slanted window openings, attached to the south side. The tower is crowned with a turret. The west side of the building is adorned with a shield gable with rich scrollwork and decorative obelisks. The facade, structured horizontally by cornices, is particularly emphasized in the middle of the upper floor by a box bay window bearing a detailed building inscription and the client's coat of arms. The originally open ground floor hall is divided into two naves by two sandstone columns on ironwork pedestals. In 1779, the flour weighing hall was located here. The Baroque hall inside the building is now used for concerts, readings, and events. Despite the corresponding renovations over the centuries, this prestigious, urbanistically dominant building is one of the best-preserved and most elaborate examples of this town hall type in the region. The German Foundation for Monument Protection funded the renovation of the town hall's facades between 1999 and 2002. Source: https://www.denkmalschutz.de/denkmal/rathaus-mainz.html

The Catholic Church of St. Stephen in Mainz-Gonsenheim, in its current neo-Gothic style, was built in 1906 and consecrated on September 30, 1906. The Gonsenheim parish church was first documented in 1401. The imposing towers dominate the townscape and are visible from afar. As the largest church in Rheinhessen after Mainz Cathedral, St. Stephen soon became known as the "Rheinhessen Cathedral." Pictured together with the Baroque town hall, the two buildings are certainly among Gonsenheim's most important landmarks. The modern leaded glass windows by glass artist Heinz Hindorf were installed between 1964 and 1967. Also worth seeing are the windows of the two side aisles, as the transepts in Gonsenheim are called, depicting the life of the patron saint, St. Stephen, and the life of Jesus. In 2006, the parish church of St. Stephen celebrated its 100th anniversary. The festive service took place on 30 September 2006, the anniversary of the inauguration, and was celebrated by the then Bishop of Mainz, Karl Cardinal Lehmann.

The inconspicuous Wildgraben, which flows from the Wackernheimer Höhe through the center of Heidesheim's village, partially running under the street, once brought raging floods to the village, sweeping away entire houses. Unimaginable today, the tranquil watercourse creates several idyllic corners in the village landscape, especially at the Catholic daycare center/Dalles and the town hall.

At the intersection of Koblenzer Straße and Ochsenwiese, you'll find the beautifully designed electrical box by Life.Lines at the fountain, featuring the symbolic figures of Gonsenheim's three carnival clubs: Gonsenheim Carnival Club "Die Schnorreswackler" (GCV), Eiskalte Brüder Gonsenheim (EBG), and Carnival Club Kleppergarde (CVKG). From the fountain, you can also enjoy a magnificent view of the twin towers of St. Stephen's Church, a.k.a., Rheinhessen Cathedral.

A truly beautiful church, built between 1791 and 1810 according to designs by Jakob Joseph Schneider, the then building director of Mainz. The building features a circular choir inside and a three-sided exterior, leaning against a Gothic tower. Particularly noteworthy are the Baroque altars and wooden figures from the early 18th century. After a lightning strike in 1910, the destroyed tower was quickly rebuilt.
