I live right across the river from Mainz in Wiesbaden so whenever a guest visits I take them to St Stephan's Church. It is a little difficult to locate but once you walk in the door so worth it. The boldness of the blue Marc Chagall inspired windows takes your breath away. Incredible to know a man in his 90's... More

Had a little trouble finding it but the walk was enjoyable. The window murals are very nice and when the sun shines in them, they are amazing. More

The church itself might be an average site, but the Marc Chagall windows make this well worth the time to walk here. Very lovely indeed. More

The Chagall windows are really amazing. The rest of the Church is spare, but in a good way, with a pretty cloisters next door, and a handful of older artifacts. Worth the walk. More

When we approached church from outside I thought we had walked to wrong church. From the outside stained glass windows look dull Gray - nothing to look at. My husband opened door and I could not believe these were the same windows. For me this was one of highlights of trip. Beautiful. I want to go again. More
